Yesterday's Premiere of 'A R A M I I'
|
The legend in Bulgarian rhythmic gymnastics coaching Neshka ROBEVA has celebrated her yesterday's 60th birthday with another artistic achievement:
Her newest dance show named 'Aramii' (- it means 'Chieftains') has seen premier stage Friday evening to become the fourth spectacle of the 'iron lady' in national gymnastics.
Five years since extending her activities to the artistic dance, Neshka Robeva tells the story of two blood brothers whose friendship eroded by their common passionate love to a young and brave woman - a chieftain herself....
Jealousy and anger prevailed making the two men start fighting - and die together.
Using the strength and passion of Balkan ethnic music, Robeva has made her thirty young dancers speak with bodies, cry without voices and rejoice without laughter.
The spectacle's impressive end revealing victorious love over death could be just another gift for Neshka Robeva's birthday - sixty years dedicated to sports, arts, dance, and beauty.
Neshka ROBEVA celebrates also his 60th birthday on Friday, May 26.
