Processes of mutual cultural exchange in the theatre arts of Turkic peoples during the period of independence

Abstract

The mutual cultural benefits realized through theater art among the Turkic peoples during the
period of independence, the institutional foundations of these processes, practical forms of cooperation, and
aesthetic results are analyzed based on research. After gaining independence, the acceleration of cultural
integration with the changing political and social environment of the Turkic republics, and the more visible
manifestation of this integration in the vibrant creative field of theater, are brought into the spotlight. In particular, issues such as TURKSOY's line of cultural cooperation, the organization of events such as theater
festivals and opera days, the increase in examples of Turkic-language drama in repertoire policies, the coming together of various Turkic-language theaters in the context of joint projects, and stylistic renewal in the
post-Soviet period are discussed.
