Director-producer Nikkadam Shonazarov dedicated this chronicle-documentary performance to the Independence Day of Tajikistan.
Not only the leading actors of the theater will take part in this, but also the entire creative team (about 20 people) – in the crowd.
In some places, shadows, video sequences, supposed theater and live acting were used. And the prologue and epilogue of the performance are conceived as a separate story, which is a link between yesterday, today and tomorrow.
The past intertwines with the present, promising a possible future. It was necessary to do this, and a historical video sequence is needed. Author’s text has also been added to make it easier to show how the age changes from friend to friend.

The plot of “Rise of Hope”
The plot tells how Alexander the Great reached Sogdiana and captured it. The people were dissatisfied, and the Tajik hero Spitamen first agreed with Alexander, but then the Sogdians became the head of the partisan war.
the capture of Spitamen and Macedonian still make peace. Here the Olympic Ismoil Somoni speaks of the greatness of the Tajik people.
Next comes the video sequence, a chronicle of the temporary signing of an amicable agreement on the participation of the civil war.
“The story stretches from the time of Ismoil Somoni, in which I wove the famous Tajik hero Spitamen, whose exploits are widely known among the people – Shonazarov tells – He fought for freedom, justice and ancestral land. I created a history from natural facts, in which the legendary conqueror Alexander the Great took an active part.
From the poem “Shahnameh” additional facts were realized, thanks to which a compositional performance was obtained. On insignificant facts from the page of history arose: dialogues, monologues, accusations, scenes of friendship, and even Alexander’s marriage to Roxana.
During the ten-minute prologue, the actors reproduce dances and plastic bodies, accompanied by natural music.
In order to fully understand the performance, one must see it, as it is replete with metaphors and figurative solutions. There is a moment where the manuscripts of the book meet and the actors are present, what about the beginning. At the end of the book there are empty pages and it is folded – this is a metaphorical image of the Book of Life of Tajikistan, its constitution.
The duration of the performance is 1 hour 10 minutes.
