The performance of Les Ballets Persans, produced in collaboration with National Ballet of Kyrgyzstan is a continuation of an artistic collaboration established in early 2014. Through this production the new generation of Iranian composers are receiving exposure by creating choreographic works based on their music. The program includes four dance sequences, each of which represent a different genre of choreography from the repertoire of Les Ballets Persans:

Les Fleurs (Golha)
