«My Dear brother» - The Mukhtar Auezov Theatre on tour in Taraz

Anton Chekhov’s «My Dear Brother» remains a timeless drama of enduring relevance.
This stage production delves deeply into the psychological and artistic landscape of a generation caught in the spiritual turmoil of a century’s turning point. It captures the clash between old ways of life and the emerging new order, as well as the shifting ideals and aspirations of society itself.

At the heart of the play lies the fate of Ivan Voynitsky-a man emblematic of an entire generation who chased after outdated or illusory ideals, taking pride in doing so, even as these ideals crumble.

This fresh interpretation of«My Dear brother», shaped by a renewed artistic vision, invites us to reflect not only on Chekhov’s Russian world but also on the evolution-both the refined and the worn-out elements-of values within Kazakh society.
