ON THE STAGE OF THE BERDAKH KARAKALPAK STATE MUSICAL THEATRE: THE BALLET "QIRIQQIZ" — HARMONY OF NATIONAL TRADITION AND STAGE CULTURE

This article analyzes the ballet “Qiriqqiz,” staged on the Berdakh Karakalpak State Musical Theatre, from the perspective of the artistic achievements that emerged during the process of reinterpreting Karakalpak national heritage through the medium of contemporary ballet. The study examines costumes, headdresses, color choices, the national characteristics of dance vocabulary, and their integration with ballet technique. In addition, stage decoration, the system of character portrayals, the symbolic meanings of women’s and girls’ clothing, and the ethnographic foundations of the costumes selected for male roles are discussed in detail. The paper offers a scholarly analysis of the synthesis of nationality and modernity in the ballet, the epic’s stage interpretation, and its artistic-aesthetic value.
