«KARAGÖZ» - On Tour in Almaty by the Kuanyshbaev State Academic Kazakh Theatre

«This hand I offer, Karagöz, to you,
A heart ablaze with love so true.

Your gown of white in the wind appears,

A burning flame before my eyes.»

Kazakh folklore

Fate and sorrow, love and vengeance. Chivalry and despair. The eternal clash between the individual and society… A tragedy shaped by time and social change.
This is Karagöz - a soul-stirring masterpiece from the golden treasury of Kazakh drama.

The story of Syrim and Narsha, steeped in the inner turmoil of youth intoxicated by poetic passion and torn by the pain of choice. A vivid reflection of Mukhhtar Auezov’s own emotional struggle - both a lament and a legacy. A cultural gem brought to life by the National Theatre. Dear audience, we invite you to witness this timeless classic.
