In Yelabuga, Tukay's poems will be staged with sand animation and music by Tatar composers
On 13 November the City Palace of Culture in Yelabuga will host an immersive programme devoted to the Tatar poet Gabdulla Tukay. It belongs to the "Ars Aeterna: Workshop of Talents" festival. 2026 is the 140th anniversary of Tukay's birth.
The programme combines poetry, music by Tatar composers (from Farid Yarullin to Milyausha Khairullina) and sand animation. The organisers say viewers will not only hear the poet's lines but see them. Soprano Dilyara Nabiullina, violinist Aliya Urazalieva, bayan player Ilnaz Dudkin, pianist Adeliya Zarifullina and flutist Vladislav Zakharov, Honoured Artist of Tatarstan, will perform.
The Idilliya Art centre organises the event with support from the Tatneft Charitable Foundation. Advance registration is required. The same programme was shown in Almetyevsk in October.
