The Fire of Anatolia continues to burn!
The basic concept of Fire of Anatolia is a meeting of civiliza-
tions. It is a dance portrait that aims at the meeting of eastern
and western cultures and gives universal messages of peace. By
synthesizing folk dances with ballet, modern dance and other
disciplines of dance, it offers the world a show, a cultural feast
according to modern standards. Fire of Anatolia, which takes its
source from the thousands of years of mythological and cultural
history of Anatolia, is an original project that includes 3000 folk
dance figures and folk music compiled from almost every region.
The project, signed by Mustafa Erdogan, aims to introduce the
peaceful fire of Anatolia’s thousand-year-old mosaic of culture
and history to the whole world.
