Dance Samaia(Samaya):Resuscitated Fresco. This dance was based on the grace and characteristics of attire, typical to the Georgian national portraits, mainly to the portrait of Queen Tamar, preserved in the Georgian monumental medieval painting. Perhaps in none of the dances is there the choreographic arsenal of Iliko Sukhishvili and Nino Ramishvili so stingy and monumental as in "Samaya". The whole choreographic sketches subordinate to the idea of the unity of three principles. In the movements you can feel royal moderation and calm power. The dancers' hands wordlessly emphasize the compositional centre - visionary vertical, which is presented to us as an allegory of the axis, uniting the celestial, earthly and underworld. This is one momentary, illusory flash of that mythical, just and powerful Georgia to which all Georgians are connected by a veil of nostalgia.

I Loved Two Beautiful comments on this dance:

The grace,quiet strength, and the candle symbolize the wisdom and knowledge of the Georgian woman. It says, "I will guide you in the right direction in life". ... The liquid arms and certainly the costumes...

Elegant, simplicity of steps and poses, yet mesmerizing as statuesque dancers step down from the fresco and breath magical life into every move and gesture! They draw us into this ritual of past lives dressed in royal robes and jeweled splendor! Amazing how fascinating three minutes and forty-two seconds can be! Positively mystical!

Originally, the white flag with the single red St. George's cross was used by the Georgian King Vakhtang Gorgasali in the 5th century as the national symbol of the Georgian state and nation. The four extra crosses were added during the reign of George V of Georgia (also known as "the Brilliant" or "the Splendid"). During the golden age of the Georgian kingdom the "five-cross flag" was use
