Two years ago, the inaugural Russian dance production about the irbis, titled "Guardians of the Mountain Peaks," premiered in the Altai Republic. This initiative was conceived by the Sailugem National Park and the dance and recreation studio "Stimul" in Gorno-Altaisk.Collaborating with their partners, they undertook the creation of costumes, music, and a script for this distinctive performance.
The production draws inspiration from the true story of a female Vita and her two kittens. Unfortunately, the irbis family is killed by poachers in the play’s narrative. However, the play’s conclusion is positive, as it features the local residents saving the animals. The actors perform with emotional authenticity, ensuring that the audience cannot watch the production indifferently.
