Cranes Crying in Flight

No one and nothing shall be forgotten. The Great Patriotic War... Though many years have passed, the heroism of our ancestors and the victory they gifted to future generations live on in our collective memory. The lyrical drama Cranes Crying in Flight, directed by Talgat Temenov, tells a heartfelt story from the lives of Soviet soldiers after the war’s end.

At the centre of the play is an unexpected love story between Pernebek Boranbayev and a German woman named Inga. Through their bond, the audience witnesses the universal human emotions that transcend borders and conflict - love and cruelty, humanity and respect, hatred and compassion, longing and tenderness. A poignant and powerful production that reminds us of the enduring strength of the human spirit.
