The UK’s central Asian theatre company, Orzu Arts will stage Dulat Issabekov’s play The Transit Passenger.
Orzu Arts will be taking their version of The Transit Passenger to Astana in September 26 as part of a festival of languages.
The play examines two ideas that so many societies and communities grapple with: how far should we maintain or rejection tradition? How can people of different generations best related to one another? And what of family ties?
The first night of the play was in London, April 7 in the Lion and Unicorn Theatre . The Kazakh Ambassador to the UK attended the premiere.
“The audience reaction this week has been fantastic,” said director of Orzu Arts, Yuldosh Juraboev. Producer Joseph Sanders added: “What we found most rewarding was to see two cultures in dialogue.
Dulat Issabekov’s text raised some of the key questions being discussed in Kazakh society today. We had such positive reactions in the immediacy of the auditorium.”
