Karagöz

«Karagöz» is a staged reading with elements of dance theater, performed in German.

A piercing story of love and separation, the struggle between emotion and duty, personal and societal, the conflict of traditions and inner aspirations-Mukhtar Auezov’s immortal plot, «Karagöz,» is known to all. This classic of Kazakh literature, part of the Golden Fund of world culture, finds a new voice in German while preserving the beauty, pain, and depth of the original text. The German theater aims to give the work new scope and a new dimension. The staged reading «Karagöz» with elements of dance theater is a synthesis of poetic language and choreographic action, where the metaphorical, figurative, and poetic nature of the Kazakh language is conveyed through contemporary dance, gestures, facial expressions, and movement.
