The story dates back more than 2,000 years but has a theme that sounds much more contemporary: a band of female warriors in Central Asia had resisted aggression by the men who wanted to conquer them. A new telling of the ancient epic, “Forty Girls,” mixes video, songs and traditional and modern music. For a Muslim country, it marks a bold departure. That’s particularly so in #Uzbekistan, as it struggles to shake off a legacy of brutal repression left by its former president, Islam Karimov. He left so little space for independent creative activity that many of the country’s artists stopped working or fled abroad — including Saodat Ismailova, the creator and director of “Forty Girls.” She spent most of the last decade in Paris but recently returned to Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, to rehearse her show before taking it to the U.S. After performances at @bam_brooklyn this week, it will finally be performed in Tashkent. The performances, Saodat said in an interview, would “break all the clichés about our cultures” — and also remind Americans that “girl power” long predated the #MeToo movement. @kostyukov photographed a musician during a rehearsal for “Forty Girls.” Visit the link in our profile to read more.
