| Summary: | This article aims to evaluate the artistic life of Adil Isgandarov, the founder of the Azerbaijan Theater School, by considering the undisciplined working environments in which Adil İsgandarov was a director within the historical evolution of Azerbaijan Theater. He is described as a genius in reference to his magnificent staging which he created in the National Drama Theater. After completing his education in Moscow and returning to Baku in 1936, Isgandarov was promoted to head director and then general artistic director of the theater. With the plays he staged one after another, he raised the theater of Azerbaijan to the level of one of the most developed theatersin the country (USSR) and was rewarded by the government. In addition to these achievements, he successfully staged A. Korneychuk’s Polad Qartal (Plato Krechet), M. İbrahimov’s Hayat, C. Cabbarlı’s Aydın, and many different authors’ works. In this article, based on various sources, it is argued that Adil İsgandarov brought a new discipline not only to the field of stage direction but also to the wider context of Azerbaijani theater as a whole. |
