The story

Tbilisi-Mtskheta Art Inspirations Festival in Tbilisi and Mtskheta

Tbilisi-Mtskheta Art Inspirations Festival brings international folklore dance and music competition to Tbilisi and the historic former capital Mtskheta each May, judged on traditional costume, choreography and musical authenticity. Pairing modern Tbilisi venues with Mtskheta's ancient churches connects the folklore competition directly to the deeper historical layers of Georgian statehood and Christianity.

Tbilisi-Mtskheta Art Inspirations Festival brings international folklore dance and music competition to both the Georgian capital and nearby Mtskheta, one of the country's oldest cities and a former ancient capital recognised for its historic churches and monasteries.

International participating groups bring their own national folk traditions into direct comparison with Georgian folklore, letting audiences see how different cultures treat similar themes, courtship, harvest, seasonal celebration, through distinct choreography and music within a single competitive programme
