The play "Hamlet. The Song of the Kunder" by the Gabit Musrepov Kazakh State Academic Theater for Children and Youth won the Erguu (Inspiration) International Theater Award in the Best Foreign Performance category.
Dina Zhumabay's production of William Shakespeare's work received high praise from the expert jury, which included more than 60 theater academics and art historians from Kyrgyzstan. This year, theater companies from Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Russia participated in the awards.
This is the third consecutive Erguu International Theater Award win for the Gabit Musrepov Theater. In 2024, the award went to Farkhat Moldagali's "Kulager," and in 2025, to Gulnaz Balpeisova's "Ulpan." This latest international recognition confirms the high level of Kazakhstani theatrical art and the demand for domestic productions on international stages.
