Premiere performance "Arshin Och Zhir " to be presented at the Tatar Drama Theater in Naberezhnye Chelny city

March 15-16, in Naberezhnye Chelny Tatar Drama Theatre, a premiere performance - a drama by Tatar literature classic Ayaz Gilyazev "Arshin Och Zhir" ("Three feet of earth") to be presented to audience. This large performance is  played almost by  entire troupe.

For love hearts, Mirvali and  Shamsegayan,  fate has brought many bitter experiences. The land plot, which Mirvali bequeathed from his father, is seized by  the Soviet regime. Protesting against this, a young farmer burns his belongings and runs away from the village. All his life, he spends  in exile, missing and longing for his  native places. Back home Mirvali makes Shamsegayan’s last wish, who  is terminally ill and wants to be buried in her native village. After the death, six feet of earth enough for a man. Do the villagers  forgive Mirvali? Will  they accept? Do people value  their loved ones during life? ..

Theater director Fail Ibragimov  addresses to this work  second time. First,  he put "Three feet of earth " as far back as 1980 in Aktanysh.

Why Fail Ibragimov showed   Mirvali  on stage? The man, who destroyed all his possessions, inherited from his father, so it could not be obtained by the collective  farm? Why then, the director needed a hero - the son of a well-off  peasnat,  who  dark night fled from his native village and then the whole life was  wandering in foreign lands? And why would he needs  such  hero today? ..

Part of the answer to these questions were made at a press conference held today at the theater, which was attended by theater director Rashat Faizrakhmanov, chief director Fail Ibragimov and artists, role of Mirvali - Honored Artist of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rafik Kaumov and Rasim Khamzin.
