Faculty members and students of USIAC, as well as cultural and artistic figures of the brotherly country, watched the performance.
The play, which was based on the work of the writer and playwright Ilgar Fahmi and written in 2019 for the 650th anniversary of poet and thinker Imadeddin Nasimi (1369–1417), was organized by the honored artist Mehriban Alekbarzadeh. The artist of the performance is Vusal Rahim, the composer is People's Artist Aygun Samadzadeh, and the author of the plastic solution is Jeyhun Dadashov.
The play, classified as a mystical-psychological drama, was developed through a joint project of the Azerbaijan State Yugh Theater and the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation.
People's Artist Mammadsafa Gasimov, Honored Artist Gasim Naghi, and actors Abdulgani Aliyev, Ziya Agha, Amid Gasimov, Vugar Hajiyev, Elgun Hamidov, Elshan Askerov, and Famil Guliyev took part in the performance.
The stage performance presents the concept of Hurufism to the audience through the lenses of science, love, the divine scriptures, and sainthood. The Uzbek audience was introduced to Nasimi's era, love, sorrow, joy, truth, death, and immortality by merging different concepts of time and space on stage.
Art lovers greeted the performance with applause.
