The musical comedy Arshin Mal Alan by the great composer Uzeyir Hajibeyli, whose 140th anniversary we celebrate this year, is without a doubt one of our most beloved works. Since its premiere in 1913, this masterpiece has seen several film adaptations and hundreds of stage productions in various countries. Therefore, capturing the audience’s attention with a new interpretation of it is by no means an easy task. It can be said with confidence that the Baku Marionette Theatre has successfully accomplished this challenge. The marionette puppets breathe new life into this immortal work, while the subtle humor of Uzeyir Bey’s libretto gains new shades of expression. Unforgettable characters and exquisitely detailed stage designs captivate everyone, and the specially recorded soundtrack further enhances the overall impression. More than 35 years have passed since the premiere of this magnificent marionette performance, which has been successfully presented in many countries around the world and continues to welcome audiences on the stage of the Baku Marionette Theatre, located in Icherisheher.
