Seollal - Korean Lunar New Year Culture

Seollal - Korean Lunar New Year

On January 31 the representatives of the Korean diaspora celebrated Seollal - Lunar New Year. Seollal for Koreans is a special occasion for family re-union. On this day the young people have to visit the senior members of the family and in token of respect to do “a sebe” ceremony (a belt-low bow).  Seniors in their turn give the young people their blessing. It is also a time to pay respect to ancestors. It is believed that a good spirit of this day lays a positive foundation for the rest of the year and, therefore, people celebrate Seollalin in a big way and with all their hearts.

New Style in Kazakh Dance Theatre? Culture

New Style in Kazakh Dance Theatre?

Last night I had a new opportunity to be able to attend a new show "Kazakh Souveniers" presented by the Astana Dance Theatre "Naz" at the Makhambet Drama Theatre in Atyrau. I went half convinced to see the usual show of Kazakh music and dance, whereas, more astonished than ever I found myself in front of the dance and music company of Astana, and my critical spirit could be fed with positive things.
