The story “The Pistachio Tree” is one of the most powerful anti-war works by Magsud Ibrahimbeyov. The emotional and humanistic impact of the story is amplified by the fact that it is told through the eyes of a child. In our monodrama, this grown-up boy, reminiscing about his wartime childhood, is portrayed by the Honored Artist of Azerbaijan, Shovgi Huseynov. Together with his character, the audience is transported to a small Baku courtyard, where a large pistachio tree grows at its center…
It is a manifesto of human resilience, kindness, empathy, and unity in the face of any hardship - even such devastating ones as war and death.
A performance that instills hope for the future and faith in humanity.
