On the occasion of the anniversary of Chingiz Aitmatov, the theatre of the Lebap velayat staged «The white ship»

The team of the State Music and Drama Theatre of the Lebap velayat named after Seyitnazar Seydi is working on staging the play «The White ship» based on the story of the same name by the Kyrgyz writer Chingiz Aitmatov, who became a classic of world literature during his lifetime.

The Turkmen public is very familiar with the creative heritage of the Kyrgyz writer. The heroes of his dramatic works came to life more than once on the stage of various theatres in our country.

Perhat Hudayberenov decided to build his directorial idea of «The white ship» on plastic expressiveness, including conditional theatre and symbolism.

-The main message of our performance is intended for young people, says director Perhat Hudayberenov. -Often young people get married, create new families, without thinking about raising their future children. Subsequently, the lack of parental love and attention from fathers and mothers becomes a personal tragedy for the child. The work of Chingiz Aitmatov tells about this. This theme is also raised in the play. Even if it so happened that the family broke up, one should not forget about their children, because their own blood flows in them.

 The protagonist of «The white ship» is a little boy left by his parents who lives with his grandfather on a forest cordon. The boy does not remember either his father or mother, as he has never seen his parents. He only knows that his father was a sailor in Issyk-Kul, and his mother left for the city after the divorce.

Climbing a neighbouring mountain, the boy likes to look out through his grandfather's binoculars for a distant white ship that appears on the lake. The child dreams of turning into a fish and swimming across the lake that separates him from his parents: «I will swim and tell my father, a sailor: «Hello, dad, I am your son».

People's Artist of Turkmenistan Akjagul Suhanova, Aygozel Rovshenova, Batyr Yazov and others are involved in the performance. The role of the nameless boy will be played by travesty actress Dursun Taganova.

«We have a very successful cast», the director comments. – Dursun is a professional actress, she works very thoughtfully on the role and even now, during rehearsals, she notices such details of her character that will not leave anyone indifferent.

The new production is dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the birth of Chingiz Aitmatov. For a wide audience, the performance «The white ship» is planned to be presented in April.
