Drawing on one of the best-known epic and folkloric narratives of Azerbaijan and the Turkic world, the performance attracted widespread public interest throughout its run. This reception highlights both the audience’s enthusiasm for the production and the strong potential of theater rooted in local culture and literature.
Yaqub Sadiq-Jamali has now announced the performance’s upcoming run in Tehran in a new story, writing: “The record-holder for theater attendance in Tabriz is now a guest of the country’s largest Turkic-speaking city — Tehran.”
Following its unprecedented reception in Tabriz and its record-breaking attendance in Azerbaijani theater, “Koroghlu” is now preparing to meet its audience in Tehran.
