From the history of Uzbek folk theaters

It is known from history that in the cultural life of the Central Asian peoples, especially in the Uzbek peoples, until the 20th century there were no such genres and types of theatrical art as “musical drama”, “musical comedy”, “operetta”, “opera”, “ballet”, which were formed in Ancient Greece and European countries. The elements of theatrical art of local peoples mentioned in the above topics, folk performances, “mime” (imitation), “mockumentary”, “askia”, “puppet”, various types of theater have been developing since ancient times. It is worth noting that even in those days, children's performances were observed in comedy and pseudo-documentary productions. This reflects the deep history and hard work of our people.
