Ilkhom Theatre, described as "The Theatre of Dissent" in the pre-perestroika time of the Soviet Union, is making its debut performance in Japan. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the theatre has attracted international attention as a driving force among the theatrical circles in Central Asia. In this production, "Imitations of The Koran," the director Mark Weil asks about "tolerance in our time," by working on the long poem of the same title by Aleksander Pushkin. Pushkin composed the poem inspired by the Koran, and the piece was reevaluated in the course of various movements after the break-up of the Soviet Union. The production was completed in February 2002, after two years of careful preparation, at the final stage of which the horror of 9/11 took place, and, since then, it has been performed in many countries. The staging with video art and performance of rock-flavored traditional music creates a powerful impression on the audience.
