Khorumi

A few men who are searching the area for a campsite and enemy camps perform the initial "prelude" to the dance.

Its strength, simple but distinctive movements and the precision of lines create a sense of awe on stage.

The dance incorporates in itself the themes of search, war, and the celebration of victory as well as courage and glory of Georgian soldiers.

Drum (doli) and the bagpipe (chiboni) are two key instruments to accompany Khorumi.

Another unique element of Khorumi is that it has a specific rhythm, based on five beat meter (3+2).
