Alem is a modern ballet created on the basis of the same Turkic epic and narrating about the birth of the soul, its path from heaven to earthly life through darkness and trials. The musical accompaniment of the work is unique and original. The stage solution is embodied with the help of light and video installations and 3D effects without bulky static scenery. Artists interact with video and holograms, light, and smoke installations.
