Student theater "Shanyrak" performed "Tanakoz" play

The Eurasian National University theater "Shanyrak" presented to the public the play "Tanakoz" based on the poem by Mukhtar Shakhanov. The director of the performance is an ENU graduate Bagdat Ashim, and the actors are ENU students. Students, teachers, university staff and other fans of theatrical dramatic art were lucky enough to witness the classic story of love and friendship.

According to the director, the cast of the play has been updated by 70% and mainly consists of first and second year students.

"I would call as a feature of the production the following peculiarity: we tried to convey the feelings of the main characters through the actors of mass scenes. The main message of the play is to convey to the young audience the idea that the basic human values are love and friendship," Bagdat Ashim says.

It is worth noting that the role of the main character Murat was played by a 4th-year student of the Faculty of Journalism and Political Science Kadyr Aliyev, the role of Tanakoz was played by a 3rd-year student of the Faculty of Philology Aida Kabdoldanova, the role of Mukhtar was played by a 3rd-year student of the Faculty of Philology Nurbal Kuralov.  A total of 23 bachelor students participated in the performance.

The Eurasian National University Rector Yerlan Sydykov highly appreciated the students’ creativity:

"Aesthetic education is a special kind of education. It is impossible to get it through reading books. Only the stage gives it. Therefore, I can say with confidence that our theater "Shanyrak" deserves to be called a professional theater," the scientist noted.

 In addition, Rector announced that from now on, the assembly hall of the second academic building will be called "Shanyrak" theater, and it was supported by loud applause from the hall.
