From Uzbekistan Ilkhom TheatreWhite White Black StorkFriday, April 18 • 8 pm
Click to download PROGRAM NOTES White White Black Stork, based on the novel by 19th-century Uzbek writer Abdulla Kadyri, tells the universal and tragic tale of love confronted by the prejudices of custom and law. Set in turn-of-the century Uzbekistan, this beautiful, transgressive play centers on a young Muslim poet and dreamer, forced by his parents to marry. Ilkhom Theatre, the only professional company in Uzbekistan operating independent of government support, is renowned for its boundary-pushing uncensored works. Its American debut of White White Black Stork offers a rare glimpse into Uzbek culture through a work that is haunting and deeply poetic. Contains adult themes. Performance is in Russian and Uzbek with English supertitles. |
 “This story is written from the heart…with love, death, and the real tenderness of life.”
