Kalamkas

Performance

The main character of the play is a brave girl of the Kazakh steppe of the 18th century - Kalamkas Yeselbaevna. During the war, she saved 20-30 villages from starvation, despite the absence of a man in the village. The country still remembers the story of the heroine, who flew off a cliff at the age of 20. In 2009, a large mausoleum was erected in the western region in honor of Kalamkas Yeselbaevna. The poetic plastic performance "Kalamkas" shows the feat of a young girl who became a historical figure.
