ZHUREK SYRY My Love, You…
“My Love, You” – a reflection on love and art.
Art, too, has its own destiny. It, like a person, is born, grows, lives, soars, sometimes falls, and sometimes is reborn and thrives. It loves, believes, yearns, laughs, and cries. But sometimes, art, like music hiding quietly, becomes still beside its creator. Striving for a song, without knowing all the intricacies of the world, is a risk. Art is a trust. And one does not betray trust.
This is not just the story of one song. It is the story of the song “Nurikamal,” preserved in the memory of every Kazakh, and the people who created its fate. Have you ever thought about how one song can change a person’s life?
Like life itself, some songs have their own fate. Sometimes, they sleep deep within the heart. But over time, like a melody heard from afar, they are revived. And when we hear that familiar melody, the sorrow deep in the heart awakens again. The last hope of a soul weary of life, people, and even art may lie in this very song…
The musical drama “My Love, You” is the story of a song, a destiny, and a feeling.
