WORDS OF EDIFICATION

ABAI. KARASOZ

Philosophy in Motion (Inspired by Abai’s Words of Edification)

Art and literature know no borders. The works of Abai Kunanbaiuly - a poet and philosopher who gave voice to the universal sorrows of mankind - serve as a shared heritage, drawing nations closer together. Having withstood the test of time, the poet’s Words of Edification, which profoundly examine the meaning and purpose of human existence, have now found a new expression on the stage.

Based on this masterpiece, the physical theatre production The Words of Edification invites the audience to delve into the depths of the human soul. The production’s distinctive physical language translates Abai’s written philosophy into the eloquence of bodily movement, raw emotion, and inner turmoil. Every gesture on stage becomes a work of art, conveying to the heart the eternal quest of the human spirit and its poignant struggle between love and morality.
