Price of ticket 700 rubles. About Radik Tyulyush: "Sometimes one gets tired of music that you hear on the radio. All the world has began to strive for the natural. Humanity understands that everyhting is hiding in the roots. As they say - everything new is really just thoroughly forgotten old.  I believe that Tuvan music had an influence in the rebirth of this interest because of the unusual throat singing technique of  vocalization, timbre of the instruments, melodics, and the Tuvan tuning", - says Radik.

The legend "About the Creation of the World" was first put into a written format by aspirant of Tuvan State University Ai-bek Soskal at the request of the director of ensemble "Edegei", Kima Chozarovna Dongak. For the next production, it was necessary to find out its origins: how did Sook-Irey get into traditional Tuvan culture? Designer and ballet-master Vyacheslav Dongak created Sook-Irey's costume on the basis of this legend. Adyg-Tulush: When Mother -Earth was being created, Sun and Moon called the creator-chayakchi Father-Heaven. The Sun shone during the day, and the Moon at night. At that time the earth was flat, and the heaven was bluer than blue, and nothing happened.  Mother-Earth was lonely and angry, and mountains with flat lands, wrinkles and salt lakes showed up.
