Love’s Sorrow… PREMIERE!
Takhaui Akhtanov’s Love’s Sorrow is a profoundly lyrical work that speaks from the heart, capturing the most delicate movements of the human soul. The drama weaves together the harsh truth of post-war life with themes of compassion, love, and integrity.
At the centre of the story are Lazzat and Niyaz - their bond becomes a testament to how pure, sincere love is tested by the turbulence of life.
Lazzat is gentle-hearted yet unbreakably strong. For her, love is not merely a feeling but the very essence of life, a measure of honour.
Niyaz is a young poet striving to find his place amid the storms of fate, at times faltering under its weight.
Through the fate of this young couple, the author reveals that love is not only joy, but also sorrow and an inner battle. The production celebrates the purity of the human spirit, the value of true emotion, and the enduring virtues of honesty and dignity.
