To Ufa came the author of the novel "Zuleikha opens eyes" Guzel Yahina. Tonight she will see the performance of her work for the first time, directed by Ayrat Abushahmanov in the Bashkir Drama Theater of M. Gafuri and talk with her readers. The production of the Bashram Theater is the first full-fledged theatrical work on the novel of the same name by Yakhina. The premiere of the play took place at the end of November last year, provoking a wide public response.

The writer shared her expectations before watching the performance.

"This trip to Ufa is very welcome, I'm looking forward for the evening. I began to worry on November 24, the day of the premiere, I was very worried about both the director and the actors", - Guzel Shamilevna began the conversation.

"I hope these are two different works - a play and a book. Therefore, if you read the book before or after the performance, this is everyone's business. But, both should be perceived separately, and not necessarily be a continuation of each other", - noted the author.

Director Airat Abushahmanov noted that the presence of a alive author is a very exciting aspect.

"Alive author is not an easy thing at all. And suddenly she could say "I did not write this". Actors are determined that the author will like the play. Let's see how it turns out today", - says Ayrat Akhtyamovich.

The director thanked the author for the complete freedom of creativity in the preparation of the play. He stressed in the conversation how the performance differs from the novel.

"For example, in the performance Ignatov's line is as strong as Zuleikha's. Also I address to two main themes - to the heavy fate of women and the destiny of all of Russia in the 1930s - the dekulakization of the peasants, industrialization. These are the two main themes of the play, and there are more layers in the book. "

Guzel Shamilevna also shared the nearest creative plans, distributed autographs, and after a press conference she visited the National Library of I. A-Z. Validi, where the exhibition of the covers of her book published in different countries is exhibited.

By the way, today theatrical critic Niyaz Iglamov from Kazan will see the present play in the bashdram along with the author of the novel.
