A number of spiritual and cultural events will be held in the city of Kokshetau to mark the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. Two performances deserve special attention — "The Last Letter" and "The Soldier's Father". These productions realistically convey the tragedy of the war and are able to touch the heart of every viewer.

On May 7, at 17:00, the premiere of the concert performance "The Last Letter" will take place on the stage of the Kazakh Musical and Drama Theater named after Shakhmet Kusainov. The staging was prepared by the artistic director of the theater Manarbek Kydyrbai, and the director was Medet Khamzin, the holder of the honorary title of "Excellent Student of Culture".

"The play artistically reflects the tragedy of the war through the pain left in the heart of humanity, through mournful letters from the front, memories of fallen heroes and the value of peaceful life. The production will feature songs from those years that will help the audience understand the meaning of the world more deeply," the organizers note.

On May 6, 8 and 10, at 18:00, the Akmola Regional Russian Drama Theater will host screenings of a play based on the play by Suliko Zhgenti "Father of a Soldier". The production was performed by the main director of the theater, "Excellent Student of Culture" Olga Lutsiva.

The plot centers on the story of an elderly Georgian peasant, Giorgi Makharashvili, who volunteers to go to the front in search of his son. He goes to war not as a soldier, but as a father. On his way, he meets many people whose fates reveal to him the common tragedy of war. The play deeply touches on such values as love, hope, humanity, perseverance and fatherly kindness.

The play is based on the famous 1964 film Father of a Soldier, directed by Rezo Chkheidze. This work won the hearts of the audience in the 20th century and remains relevant to this day. It tells a sincere, pathos-free story about human feelings and fortitude in wartime.

Both productions are an integral part of historical and cultural commemorative events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory. The aim of the organizers is to awaken in the hearts of the audience the love of the Motherland, respect for historical memory and the value of peaceful life.

Young people, representatives of the creative intelligentsia, members of veteran organizations and all lovers of theatrical art are invited to the events.
