«Zu Zu Külpäsh, Wäinä and Mir» in Shymkent
«Wäinä and Mir» is a satirical musical comedy written by Berik Tursynbekov. The performance unfolds through scenes of everyday village life, using artistic storytelling to explore family values that remain highly relevant in contemporary society. Relationships between men and women, domestic disagreements, and the many contradictions of human character are presented through a lively blend of songs, dance, and humor, making the story engaging and easy to follow.
The production does not aim to side with any particular viewpoint or promote a one-sided position. Instead, true to the spirit of satire, it reflects social realities as if in a mirror, leaving the audience to draw their own conclusions and interpretations.
Although the title alludes to the notion of «conflict» or «war», the core message of the play is quite the opposite. It emphasizes respect for elders, kindness toward the younger generation, the roles and responsibilities of men and women within the family, and the enduring importance of traditional Kazakh values. These ideas form the central philosophical foundation of the performance, subtly passed on to the next generation.
