[Kazakhstan] Orteke - performing art that combines theatre, music and puppetry
Orteke is an indigenous Kazakh performing art that combines theatre, music and puppetry. This folk art entails a music performance with a dombyra, a traditional two-stringed instrument, and a dance performed by a wooden puppet. Attached to the surface of a traditional drum with a metal rod, a wooden puppet in the shape of a mountain goat is connected to the fingers of a musician by one or several strings. As the musician strikes their fingers to play the dombyra, the puppet comes to life, hopping in sync with the music while tapping a rhythmic beat on the drum. Some experts can play with three or more puppets at a time. This performance, fascinating for its simplicity, is enjoyed by children and adults alike. It is primarily transmitted within communities and through apprenticeships, although the Kokil Musical College in Almaty has also established a team of researchers dedicated to the art. The biennial Orteke international festivals and regional puppet art competitions are other platforms for the learning and sharing of skills and experience between puppet artists from Kazakhstan and neighbouring countries. Since ancient times, the mountain goat has symbolized male strength, and its horns were understood as belonging to a leader or the strongest warriors. The goat is an important and popular character in Kazakh fairy tales, it is often depicted as smart and witty: it often helps and guides slow-witted rams. The orteke dance adds a unique flavor to the impressions of the fairy tale genre. Inscribed in 2022 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
