Pure Love

Sabit Mukhanov’s «Möldir Mahabbat (Pure Love) is a powerful stage production that delves deep into the complex fate and spiritual wounds of the Kazakh people through the eternal theme of love. At the heart of the drama are Byrkit and Bates - two souls whose loyalty and pure feelings confront the merciless grip of an oppressive system. As Byrkit’s four-day trial unfolds on stage, the audience becomes witness to a deeper trial: one between truth and lies, felt not through logic, but through the heart.

The yurt rising before the audience, only to collapse later, becomes a haunting symbol - the fall of an era, and yet from beneath its ruins, a silent call for revival echoes.
Even the pauses on stage speak volumes, whispering the untold truths of distorted history.
In Bates’ clear, sorrowful eyes, we glimpse a secret world where love and longing are inseparably woven. «Pure Love» is more than a story of feeling - it is a tender ache of longing, a buried truth seeking voice, and a resonant echo of a nation’s soul.
