This spectacular production by the renowned German choreographer and choreographer Raul Raimondo Rebeck is dedicated to the ancient folk dance lazgi, which has been inscribed by UNESCO on the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The history of the Khorazm dance, which embodies folk wisdom and is shrouded in many secrets and mysteries, dates back three thousand years. Exciting energy, fiery movements, a unique style based on a complex dance pattern - all this makes lazgi an outstanding cultural phenomenon. 
At the heart of the ballet is a story about the love of dance and life itself. The plot begins millennia ago, in the great era of caravans traveling through Central Asia along the Great Silk Road. In the heat of the desert to the songs of shamans, Love awakens and the immortal Soul begins its eternal dance. A fantastic journey from the past to the future is the story of the Soul, which embodies centuries-old traditions and folk temperament, and Love, which follows it through all epochs. The history of the people, the memory of ancestors, the voices of spirits - in each act of the ballet the bond of time grows ever stronger so that in the finale Soul and Love become an indivisible whole.
