«I Am a Mysterious Man… Abai»

This production is not a copy of a dramatic work. It reflects the destiny of talent, the solitude of the artist, and contemplations on humanity and love. The performance is meant not to be understood, but to be felt. This is my impression of Abai…

A. Zaitsev

« - We said that when a poet speaks, he must tell the truth of life. What does that mean? It means that poetry should not merely describe what happens in life, but offer a resolution to it. If you wish to speak of a ruler of the past, do not repeat empty words like ‘blessed be his soul’ or ‘may he rest in peace.’ Reveal and critique the true nature of the times!»

From «The Path of Abai» by M. Auezov
