Pontic cuisine: from Ierissos to Almaty, Kazakhstan

Kazakhs from the Asian homelands of Pontus arrive at the Ierissos central pior to present KOUZINA and their dances: they set up fire pits,
they knead mandi – filling them with meat and herbs-
they prepare the heavy pots and steam their pasta creations.

They offer them to the public.
Delicious.

They describe their homeland.
There were also Greeks there.
From Pontus.
Even now Greeks consist a community.

Then they start dancing.
Lavender.
Whirlingly.
Strengthfully.
Keeping swords.
And knives.
Stability.
Nice costumes.
Their songs are Russian.
The familiar lyre.
Spectacle.
They wear hats.
They create dancing turns.

The show takes us to the asian steppes and to the high mountains.
Their culture is familiar.
We get drunk.

We invite you to enjoy it with us!
