The intrepid Yara Arts Group, a resident company of La MaMa ETC that was recently named "Honored Artist of Ukraine," collaborated with the University of Central Asia in order to lovingly put together a slender porfolio of stringently composed photographs documenting two productions in New York based on Kyrgyz epics: Janyl Myrza, created by Yara artists, and Sakhna Theatre of Bishkek's production of Testament. Conceived and written by Virlana Tkacz with Kyrgyz translations on the facing pages, Kyrgyz Epic Theatre in New York, doubles as a catalog for a same-titled exhibit that appeared in June 2008 at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Bishkek, the capital of the former Soviet country, located south of Kazakhstan.

44 pages with 24 pages of color pictures $20 plus $5 shipping
