HISTORY

Including a synthesis of hundreds of folkdance figures and music from different regions, The Fire of Anatolia is a unique project that gets its source from Anatolia’s ancient mythological and cultural history. Produced by Mustafa Erdoğan, the group would like to introduce the world the fire that arises from the ancient mosaic of love, cultural history and peace of Anatolia.

The Fire of Anatolia, which is regarded as one of the best dance groups of the world because of many tours held in foreign countries and various promotional activities performed till today, has taken big and important steps towards realizing this target.

In 1999, Mustafa Erdoğan who took his first steps towards making his dream that extends many years ago started to work intensively for the project which was then known as the “Sultans of the Dance”. Advertisements for the audition were placed on the newspapers. 90 talented young dancers were selected out of 750 applicants, who began to work, immediately. This difficult period, full of hard work, lasted for about one and a half year. Working periods of usually 8 hours, but sometimes 16 hours a day...

Costumes were prepared and compositions were completed. They worked night and day under the supervision of dieticians, esthetics, exercise, and massage specialists. Stretching and yoga were performed. Mostly fields such as steps of folkloric dances, ballet, and modern dance were concentrated on. Dancers took theoretical instructions on the notation of Anatolian rhythms.

The show was planned to be performed abroad after a few performances in Turkey. However, all tickets were already sold months before the performances and on May 3, 2001, it was decided to stay longer within the country. Starting its first world tour in 2002, The Fire of Anatolia has achieved to meet art-lovers in many countries throughout the world, such as Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Israel, China, USA, UK, France, Egypt, Jordan, Hungary, Italy, North Cyprus, Siberia, Qatar, Lebanon, Bulgaria, Baku (Azerbaijan), Russia, Japan, and Greece.
