The performance “Taganok” based on the story of the elder of the Bashkir dramaturgy Mustai Karim in the dramatization and staging of the Moscow director Anton Fedorov is the most large-scale performance of the Bashkir dramatic theater SGTKO. The director, while maintaining a careful and reverent attitude to the author, brought the classic material of Bashkir literature to a new level of modern artistic thinking.

At 10 pm in the Bashkir Academic Drama Theater named after M. Ghafuri, a non-competitive program presented the performance of the Salavat State Bashkir Drama Theater “Berushi” (“Ber, Ike, өс ...”, O. Zhanaydarov) directed by Ilsur Kazakbaev. In the chamber space (spectators and actors are located on the stage) the problem of the national language is revealed: honestly, truthfully and without false patriotism. Renaming the Kazakh heroes of the play to Bashkir Bulat and Urazbai, the director set a warning performance, raising the acute social theme to the level of a universal tragedy, where the biblical story about original sin is the leitmotif. The play “Earplugs” - about the lost generation, about the end, that the loss of language is the loss of roots, the loss of home and self-identity.

Tomorrow, May 27, theatrical groups of Turkey and Kazakhstan will present their competitive performances to the Ufa audience and expert council.
