A KYRGYZ THEATER WORK ON THE AXIS OF SOCIALIST REALISM: ACAL ORDUNA

Socialist realism, a literary movement shaped according to Soviet ideology, is an artistic and literary movement based on socialist ideological reality. Since the aim of this movement is to spread Soviet ideology and create new Soviet-type people, the works created in line with this movement are fed with socialist ideology. After the 1917 October Revolution, one of the founding writers of the contemporary Kyrgyz theater, which began to form, was Cusup Turusbekov. Turusbekov's “Acal Orduna” is one of the pioneering works of Kyrgyz theater. The play is about the 1916 uprising known as Ürkün. Written in 1934, the work has been changed many times and adapted to socialist realism. In this study, Cusup Turusbekov, one of the important names of contemporary Kyrgyz literature, will be introduced. The work will first be analyzed structurally, and then the socialist realist elements in the work will be emphasized. Keywords: Socialist realism, Kyrgyz theater, Cusup Turusbekov, Acal Orduna.
