Antalya Fire of Anatolia is a theatre and a show at the same time. Dedicated to historical events, this theatre tells the story of the past in a completely unique way, in the form of a dance performance with colourful costumes. The theatre offers two performances of your choice. The first is a kind of dance ‘album’ of the culture of the peoples of Turkey and its neighbouring countries. It is called ‘The Fire of Anatolia’. The second is about the events of the Trojan War, based on Homer’s ‘Iliad’. Both shows are incredibly vivid and expressive. Indicate which one you’d like to see in the comments (days may vary depending on the type of show, book in advance).
Both transfers ( from and to the hotel), a professional English-speaking guide and a ticket to the show are included in the price of the tour.
Where better to watch this unforgettable performance art than in its hometown of Antalya. The dance troupe known as the Fire of Anatolia first saw life over 20 years ago and have since performed their famed dances in 90 countries worldwide! Yet to see them perform in their hometown is a truly unique experience.
The dance troupe employs 250 dancers at any one time and with a main cast of over 100, the show is a pretty spectacular event. Perhaps even moreso because it is performed in the ancient amphitheatre of Aspendos. If you didn’t already know, this splendid amphitheatre of Roman times has hardly changed since it was built 2000 years ago. The natural accoustics and the strategic seating of the theatre have maximised the experience of the audience since its inception all those years ago.
The troupe perform two different shows and when you book your tour you will state which show you wish to see. The first show is based on the fall of Troy, and Homer’s literary works, telling the story through dance, of Paris and Helen’s tragic love story and how it eventually brought down the great city.
The second show is the Fire of Anatolia itself with dance from every region of Turkey, and also from Azerbaijan and Georgie, neighbouring states. The dances interpret the culture of this great country, in all its diverse colour and magnificence.
