About:
A recorded documentary solo performance written and performed by Inzhu
Abeu (Sydykova). After discovering a memoir written by her scientist
grandfather for his children, Inzhu begins to uncover a life she had
barely known about: his childhood, time in an orphanage, scientific
career and the family he created. Drawing on his memoir, diaries and
writings, her performance becomes an intimate journey through family
memory and across generations. Zhurmbek devoted his life to science,
becoming one of the founders of hydrogeology in Soviet Kazakhstan.
Through his own words, his granddaughter meets Zhuke anew – a humble and
warm-hearted man with an incredible desire to live.
