The ancient nomads have a game called Alaman, which is played on horseback. It is very similar to the game “Kok-boru” – “goat running,” and the same ancient, popular equestrian sport game among the Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, Uzbeks and other peoples of Asia. The goal of the game “Alaman” is to master the carcass by taking it from the crowd of rivals and throwing it in front of the “owner,” that is, in front of the organizers of the game. Hundreds and sometimes thousands of riders compete for the prize. Usually, the game is arranged in order to receive a blessing before important events. As a prize, very valuable gifts are prepared, sometimes even expensive cars.

Ilgiz-Sherniyaz Tursunbek uulu(1995) graduated in 2018 from the Faculty of Communication, Kyrgyz-Turkish University, from the Department of Radio, TV and Cinema. Today he works at the National Academic Drama theatre named after T. Abdumomunov.
