The latest artwork of ‘Ghorbet Lagee Dance Group’, is a show that simulates the historical period of Bilad al-Sham in the Ottoman era. It incorporated the rhythm of the Syrian artist, ‘Samir Kwifati’s’, panorama of songs. These songs were from some Levantine cities and countries of the Arab world, inspired by the movements of the Lebanese band ‘Caracalla’ and ‘Syrian Julnar’. This presentation aimed to inform the audience about Arab heritage culture and its impact on society.

The musical instruments that were used in the show were Arabic, such as the Syrian drums, the Egyptian tambourine, crutches, spears, Palestinian Keffiyeh, and lanterns.

The members costumes of this show were specially designed in Syria. The dresses were a mixture of the designs from the Ottoman period, in addition to the Syrian and Lebanese designs, and Palestinian embroidery, while the hats were Armenian.

More than 52 dancers from Ghorbet Lagee participated in this work. These members took part in intense training for over two years, for the preparation of this show. This unfortunately, was affected by Corona Virus and the lock down, where training had to be completed remotely. In spite of this, our members, still worked very hard to make the show successful.
