Ensemble Naz
A vast puzzle between the Urals and Siberia, Kazakhstan has been shaped by a mosaic of peoples and empires. Nomads, northern barbarian clans and tribes,
Mongols under Genghis Khan, Huns, and then Russians have forged the Kazakh culture of today. “Naz” tells this millennia-old story. Drawn from the vast expanses,
their dances are inspired by the horse culture, the sound of hooves, and the wind of the steppes. You feel the strength of the horsemen who traversed Asia and are lulled by
the poetry of this people, celebrated by throat singing and epic songs, oral narratives of legendary heroes passed down from generation to generation.
