"Gaia" is a bright, poignant story about the planet Earth, which is told in the language of neoclassical choreography. "Gaia" personifies the Earth in its four elements: water, earth, fire and air. But there is one more, without which it is impossible to imagine the breath of the Earth - this is forest. Each of the five elements is designed to support the life on the planet. Together they are unified and form the basis of "Gaia" - loving and strong, gentle and caring goddess of the Earth.
