Liza LaZiza (Cairo/Egypt)
We are back in 2003: A (still) unknown dance enters the stage at the WoO festival and after only five minutes time it becomes clear that this evening will become magic, mystic and the charm of Cairo takes the audience's breath away.
After almost one our Liza LaZiza leaves the stage, accompanied by standing ovations… A star was born.
Today, Liza LaZiza is internationally established as a dancer and it is a special honour for us that she will once again present her new show programme from Cairo live at the World of Orient 2009.
