The theme of love, which became the foundation of the works of Chinghiz Aitmatov, who introduced the Kyrgyz people to the world and became a prominent figure in humanity’s literary world, is always relevant. The acquaintance, which began with an unexpected meeting, grows into a great love. What kind of magic, what kind of power separated Ilyas from Asel, whom he compared to a tree at the peak of the mountain, ready to become a victim of his pure heart? In the performance, feelings and pride are put to the test, and the lives of those “upon whom misfortune unexpectedly fell” are explored. What will be the cost of a single mistake in life? Can Sholpan become the one to reverse Asel Nuriden’s spell? This lyrical drama explores themes of love, loyalty, respect, friendship, jealousy, responsibility, and care, delving into delicate feelings and inner sorrow. The play celebrates the unforgettable, deeply cherished love hidden in the heart, leaving an indelible mark in life.
