KULAGER

Life is a struggle, a battle, a race… a great competition.

The Kazakh people - raised gripping a horse’s mane, wrestling wild colts, growing up with an unshakable love for horses - are a nation with a fierce and noble spirit.

In the thunder of the races, only the truest, swiftest horses lead the way. Unless - in the hidden turns - a hoof slips, or a rival strikes from the shadows…

A horse’s gallop is a human heartbeat.

Kulager is more than a legendary steed - he is the spirit of a people reaching for freedom. He is the soul-cry of the poet Aqan, mourning not just a horse, but a wing torn from his life.

The stage production Kulager immerses you in Aqan's grief - the grief of a man who has lost his Kazanat, his battle-companion - and awakens the sacred power and spirit of Kazakh art.
