Reference IA: The Arsen Umuraliev Bishkek City Drama Theater was established in 1993 by People's Artist of the Kyrgyz Republic Arsen Umuraliev and theater critic Aigul Umuralieva as an alternative to the academic forms of state theaters. The theater focuses its program on different age groups of viewers and follows the main principles of urban theater: aestheticization of theatrical spectacle, overcoming established stereotypes, experimentation in various types and forms of performing arts, preservation and development of traditional forms of culture, as well as collaboration with cultural and artistic figures from different countries.
