A special programme dedicated to Armenia was performed during a Carnival parade in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The initiative was supported by the Armenian Embassy to Brazil and the local Armenian community. As the foreign ministry reports the spectacle was performed by the dancers from “Golden rose” dance company in Sao Paolo. As part of the preparation to the festival, the head of the dance company Anzhelina Bazilio had visited Armenia in 2018 at the invitation of Armenian Ambassador Ashot Galoyan and held number of meetings with officials, representatives of arts and culture sector.

It is noted that the 65-minute long performance aired live to some 140 countries and had a major political, cultural, educational and promotional relevance.

The performance had been directed by Andre Mashado and reflected the milestones of the Armenian history starting from the land of Noah’s ark on Mount Ararat to modern Armenia, featuring also respective decorations, Armenian national costumes and the tricolor. The performance was accompanied by a song named “Viva Armenia” written specially for the occasion. The overall aim of the event was to celebrate the Brazilian-Armenian friendly relations.

The event was widely covered by local and international media outlets, by one of the main Brazilian outlets Globo among them. The reportages have reflected on the issue of the Armenian Genocide and the history of formation of the Armenian diaspora around the world in general and in Brazil in particular.
