February 17, 2017, the Bashkir Academic Drama Theatre named after Mazhit Gafuri had premiere of the updated version of the play "Nerkes" directed by Ildar Gilyazev."Nerkes" became a legend of the Bashkir theater. Play by Ilshat Yumagulov put on Bashdramteatr stage for the fourth time. For the first time it turned director Lek Valiev in 1967 and 1979, starring played Gulli Mubaryakova Ramzi Khisamova, Tanzilya Khisamova - Nerkes, Gaisa Hasanov, Fidan Gafarov - Timerhan, as Zumrat were - Kamal Ihsanova, Lala Akhtyamova, Ragida Yanbulatova and Gulli Mubaryakova.In 2001, for "Nerkes" took Moscow director, our countryman - Ildar Gilyazev.

Then, the main parties were Aisylu Yumagulova, Firuza Allayarova, Alsu Galina-Gafarova (Nerkes) Azamat Gafarov and Azat Ziganshin (Timerhan), Sufiya Kurbangalieva, Tanzila Khisamova (Zumrat).This year's "Nerkes" again returned to the Bashkir stage. Spectators touched by the story of the Bashkir "Romeo and Juliet" as much, as liked the songs of composer Ural Idelbaev that the return has already become a classic of Bashkir play Ilshat Yumagulov - there was no resuscitating the old material, and the revival of the living history that ascended over time.
Today's "Nerkes" is not a new statement, its an updated version, as both sets (artist Tan Enikeev), and costumes, dance (choreography by Sergei Andrianov and Sulpan Askarova), and many of the characters remain the same. Changed only the main characters: Nerkes in the new version sounded by the actress Gulnaz Haysarova and Gulnara Kazakbaeva, as Timerhan are the actors Ruslan Haysarov and Artur Kabirov. Aisylu Yumagulova same from Nerkes reincarnated in Zumrat, Azamat Gafarov from Timerhan in Baimbet Bey.
It is felt that the audience waited for the return of the tragedy at the Bashkir stage. What applause they met and accompanied Aisylu Yumagulova - Zumrat that his monologues penetrate into the soul of everyone sitting in the hall.
Light, but have brightest expressiveness of dance, dramatic singing, vivid images, poetic scenes decision - all this forms the basis of ethnic and original performance. A classic example of the national tragedy "Nerkes" again came to life on the stage of the Bashkir.
