The originality of the Theater lies in the fact that the members perception of folklore is not simple enthusiasm, but a deep study of the spiritual culture of the Kyrgyz people.

UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2008 URL: www.unesco.org Description: The predominant form of cultural expression among the Kyrgyz nomads is the narration of epics. The art of the Akyns, the Kyrgyz epic tellers, combines singing, improvisation and musical composition. The epics are performed at religious and private festivities, seasonal ceremonies and national holidays and have survived over the centuries by oral transmission. The value of the Kyrgyz epics lies largely in their dramatic plots and philosophical underpinnings. They represent an oral encyclopaedia of Kyrgyz social values, cultural knowledge and history. The pre-eminent Kyrgyz epic is the 1000-year-old Manas trilogy, which is noteworthy not only for its great length (sixteen times longer than Homers Iliad and Odyssey), but also for its rich content. Blending fact and legend, the Manas immortalizes important events in Kyrgyzs history since the ninth century. The Kyrgyzs have also preserved over forty smaller epics. While the Manas is a solo narration, these shorter works are generally performed to the accompaniment of the komuz, the three-stringed Kyrgyz lute. Each epic possesses a distinctive theme, melody and narrative style. Akyns were once highly respected figures who toured from region to region and frequently participated in storytelling contests. They were appreciated for their proficiency in narration, expressive gestures, intonation and lively mimicry, so ...

UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2009 URL: www.unesco.org Description: The Kirgiz ethnic minority in China, concentrated in the Xinjiang region in the west, pride themselves on their descent from the hero Manas, whose life and progeny are celebrated in one of the best-known elements of their oral tradition: the Manas epic. Traditionally sung by a Manaschi without musical accompaniment, epic performances takes place at social gatherings, community celebrations, ceremonies such as weddings and funerals and dedicated concerts. Regional variations abound, but all are characterized by pithy lyrics with phrases that now permeate the everyday language of the people, melodies adapted to the story and characters, and lively parables. The long epic records all the major historic events of greatest importance for the Kirgiz people and crystallizes their traditions and beliefs. The Kirgiz in China and the neighbouring Central Asian countries of Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan regard the Manas as a key symbol of their cultural identity and the most important cultural form for public entertainment, the preservation of history, the transmission of knowledge to the young and the summoning of good fortune. One of the three major epics of China, it is both an outstanding artistic creation and an oral encyclopaedia of the Kirgiz people.

BISHKEK, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Kyrgyzstan's parliament will vote on Thursday on closing a US air base in the Central Asian state, complicating Washington's efforts to supply its forces fighting in Afghanistan. Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev announced after talks with traditional ally Russia this month that he wanted to close the Manas air base outside the capital Bishkek because Washington had refused to pay more rent. Parliament is expected to support Bakiyev's decision because his Ak Zhol party dominates the assembly. US forces will then have six months to leave and find another staging post in a region where Washington vies for influence with Russia. Foreign Minister Kadyrbek Sarbayev said on Wednesday the impoverished former Soviet republic had not received any new proposals on the base from the United States. "There will be a parliament session tomorrow and this question will be settled," Sarbayev told the assembly. Ibragim Zhunusov, a parliament deputy, said: "Of course we will vote to cancel the agreement." Washington is looking for alternative supply routes to landlocked Afghanistan because routes through Pakistan have become increasingly vulnerable to militant attacks. Washington sent troops to Afghanistan after the attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. They toppled the Taliban leadership for giving sanctuary to al Qaeda leaders responsible for the attacks. US President Barack Obama has ordered 17000 more troops to Afghanistan to tackle an intensifying ...
