Although we have talked to Maestro many times about the world of theater, its issues to be solved today, this time the conversation was much different. The Parastu-2021 Theater Competition and Festival in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, has added another spirit to all previous ideas. That spirit was heading for a new bridge, a new address.
To this day, perhaps, they have been looking for ways to remove the theater from life, the life from the theater, but now, in Maestro’s way – he puts the stage in his own ways, tearing down any curtains, patching, unifying, adjusting the strings, and so on carrying the load and “heading” again for new research.
From the scene that Shakespeare puts on a new character to the plot, Eshil’s originality is evident, and the close proximity of the modern style to the scene “helps” the scene to find a new look today.
One day the surface of the earth is flooded with water, the next day people gather their souls like bottles of clay, and another day they set foot on the ground in the voice of the contemporaries with a bag of dervishes on the ground, not announcing that new things have come to light …
There are theater critics and theater directors who have worked hard to make this image come to life in front of your eyes. It is enough to see the works staged by the Turkmen director to understand why they do not miss the wheel of the wheelchair for a second.
No one seems to be trying to step on the heels of the director who is drawing the line of the new bridge of the theatrical world and leaving the project behind, unfortunately …
Maybe he is the only one in the wide world …
Maybe his audience is millions and they are his in the silence of the theatrical “silence”. they are waiting for the light …
It is not possible for everyone to come out of the universe, waking up to a thousand thoughts every day, to create their own art, to bring that art back to life with its originality, and to throw it as if it is connected with the world. Some people don’t even believe they did it. And some don’t even think I did it … That’s really the case …
Stage and Life …
Theater and Life Theater ..
Walking between these two curtains and circling them is sometimes as responsible, complex, loving, and perfect as continuing the profession that a heavenly shoemaker has left to his descendants for a hundred centuries …
May has been a month rich in news …
In fact, it was nominated for the “Parastu-202” Theater Competition-Festival in Tajikistan, which was styled by Shakespeare and Chekhov’s direction in terms of structure, but put on a live performance by the talented and world-renowned director Evlyaguly Khojaguly. He won the Grand Prix.
This work, which is uniquely selected among the other performances that took part in the festival, addresses topics that will never leave today’s audience.
Staged online at the T. Fozilova Theater in Kanibadam, the online directorship of a Turkmen director living in London was once again a new test for artists. It was a new school for them.
Whose song is this song?
The inner voice of the talents in this song. The song of the geese is the heartfelt sound of true talent. The unmistakable sound of that sound, and the unmistakable sound of the geese roaring to the cliffs of the blue sky, his latest song, all of which are melting through the spectacle.
During the performance, a simple eagle holding some space is a hindrance to the real sound of the geese, and the issue is that the geese will perish in that terrifying space.
If the ancient teachings of the world give a single impression to the human heart, then something can be explained to that person. Finding the real face of the issue on the theatrical stage has already been a boon for Ovlyaguly Khojaguly, one of the most modern directors of the 21st century. Being able to say what you want to say on stage, even though it is inherited from Shakespeare, today the ways to tell the news through the modern stage, or to modernize it through the classics, are probably because the theatrical world is looking for news …
The idea behind the song “Swans” is that people have a realistic view of today’s theatrical issues, a call to draw conclusions from those views, to prevent the loss of human values, and to make a contribution to each of them as you go along that path … wrist …
In order to cope with these unresolved issues, and to be in the theatrical world and to face its innovations every day and to keep an eye on today’s problems of life …
Kanibadam … You are a small and simple city. In one corner is a simple theater palace built half a century ago (maybe one) ago. Farrukh and other artists, who live in it, live with the theatrical world, but have lost their lives … All three are Maestro fans. I am the voice of critics from one place, I am waiting to write an article about the new work of the Maestro from another place … Elsewhere, an empty stage that has moved away from the spirit of Central Asia … Where are you? Who is in the mood to fill in the blanks … Each of the characters who appear on stage has their own world. They are trying to adapt to modern living. It will either be or will not be … And the sound of the swans going one by one seems to be heard inside us to create a new fire …
The heart-wrenching theme of the stage is today the sparks of wood that the world of theater burned a thousand years ago. I was once amazed when the guys who were going to snake with that spark turned to the Master.
This work has already come to life. Now he is starting to live on stage from the day he was presented to the audience, which means that they have brought him to this day to live from now on …
You have to see the show first without having to tell a specific story. Not at all in his style, the artist is both an audience and a worldview … His intention is also to invite people to see the inner essence of that person, and he gives the same mark to every artist and audience. “That’s why we see our perfection in the perfection of his work,” they say when you talk to the artists he worked with.
Days have passed. The “Parastu-2021” Theater Competition-Festival performance of the song “Swans Song” staged by Maestro won the Grand Prix. Of course, the trails that stretched from the small theater of the small town to the most beautiful city in Europe did not go in vain. One of the empty scenes was full, and the second one was getting ready to be filled … It was rumored that there was a third one too … The director who built the bridge of the new theater era was walking on his way again, throwing his old chariot dervish bag on his shoulders … the trail was spinning with a thin line from the dusty trail … The tracks were visible even in the dark …
Let the artists and spectators of the new era who will cross the new bridge of the stage know … The traces of the chariot of the director who drew the line of this bridge …
Congratulations, Maestro!
