A theatrical composition titled "Bitaraplyk – Jebisligiň binýady" was performed at the Makhtumkuli National Music and Drama Theater, in which, along with the actors of the theater, students and teachers of two universities of the country – the Turkmenistan Institute of Engineering and Transport Communications and the International Oil and Gas University named after Yagshigeldi Kakaev took part.
The performance was opened with the monologue "Bitarap Watan" by the Honored Artist of Turkmenistan, Aysoltan Kovusova. She addressed the audience, filled with students and teachers, about the peacekeeping essence of the neutrality status and the role that theatrical art of the country plays in this.
Then, a teacher Gulayim Sakhatova, and a student Ainabat Shukurbaeva shared with the audience their impressions of the history of Shukur Bakhshi, as described in the book by Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.
The creative team of the theater illustrates what was said with a fragment from the play "Shukur Bakhshi", in which the main character decided to abandon the bloodshed and rescued his brother from captivity due to a competition in playing the dutar.
The name of Myane Baba – a mullah who prayed for conflict resolution on earth through diplomacy rather than through the sword – has remained in the Turkmen people’s memory for centuries. The role of Myane Baba in the fragment from the play "Mäne babanyň dilegleri" was performed by the People's Artist of Turkmenistan, Ovezguly Gelenov.
A fragment from the play "Tumar Sha," in which the main hero chooses her homeland over the freedom of her son, made a strong impression on the students.
The theatrical composition ended with a dance and song passage from the play "Amul-Hazar arasy." The enchanting sounds of the dutar, played by the legendary female bakhshi, mesmerized all the guests at the teahouse on the Great Silk Road. Uzbeks, Georgians, Kazakhs, and Chinese – all presented their folk arts in an international improvised concert over a cup of tea.
The event ended with the patriotic song "Halkara Parahatçylyk we ynanyşmagyň Watany" performed by the Honored Artist of Turkmenistan, Tirkesh Matnazarov. The theatrical composition, based on historical figures from Hero-Arkadag's books, left a sense of confidence in the students' hearts about the greatest blessing for humanity – peace, the guarantee of which is the status of neutrality.
