FURKAT AND THEATER

Abstract

This article tells the story of Furkat, an enlightened poet, a promoter of science and European educational culture, and Russian theater.Furkat’s attitude to Russian culture and art was of fundamental importance at that time, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. "The main and decisive issue of the time was the attitude to Russia, whether to join Russia or not, because the fate of the Uzbek people and the country, the future depended on the correct definition of this future, the right approach to this issue, the right solution," wrote Academician V.Y.Zahidov. Accordingly, the social forces fighting in the society were divided into two groups, and there were violent clashes between the two groups."In such a difficult situation, Furkat dreamed of bringing his people to the path of cultural development. His views on Russian theater and music were also related to this main issue of the time.However, this aspect of Furkat’s creative work has not been sufficiently studied in theater studies. What performances did Furkat see and what concerts did he attend? Some researchers have speculated that Furkat was only in performance “Suvorov”. That’s why we want to talk about it in more detail.
