Biography
[edit]Mambetov was born in the settlement of Savinka (or Pallasovka, according to other records), now part of Pallasovsky District, Volgrograd Region, on 2 September 1932.[6]
Mambetov moved to Alma-Ata during World War II, and it was there that he received a dual degree in Performing Arts (Alma-Ata School of Theater and Fine Arts named after Gogol) and Dancing (Alma-Ata Dance School) in 1952. He sang as a solo performer of the Kazakh SSR Song and Dance Company in his college years.[7]
Following graduation from the Directing Dept., Lunacharsky Institute of Theater Arts in 1957,[8] Azerbaijan Mambetov returned to Alma-Ata.[9]
In his student years, he performed on screen and directed such plays as Personal Case (by Alexander Stein) and The Servant of Two Masters (by Carlo Goldoni) at Atyrau and Zhambyl Regional Drama Theaters.[10]
In Alma-Ata, Mambetov became first a director at Auezov Theater, its leading director in 1965,[11] and president in 1970.[12]
Tensions with the company led to Mambetov's decision to leave the theater for the movie industry in the late ‘70s.[13] After a training period at Mosfilm studios he became the director of Kazakhfilm in 1978.[14]
Azerbaijan Mambetov returned to Auezov Theater in 1980 for 15 years as its artistic director. He left in 1995 because of another case of tension with the actors.[15] Throughout his time with the theater, Azerbaijan Mambetov oversaw production of over 200 plays. In April 1995 he started working at the Kazakhstani Union of Theater Professionals.[16]
In 1999 Azerbaijan Mambetov came to the helm of Kazakh Theater of Music and Drama named after Kuanyshbayev (Astana) upon President Nazarbayev's invitation.[17] He put on plays in other cities (Prague, Moscow, Tashkent) and other theaters in Alma-Ata (Korean, Uyghur Theaters, etc.).
Mambetov's play Mother's Field (based on Chinghiz Aitmatov’s novel) was presented at the International Theater Festival of Asian, African and Latin American Countries in Shiraz (Iran) in 1973,[18][14] while his play Kozy Korpesh — Bayan Sulu by Musrepov was featured in the Theater of Nations International Festival in Nancy in 1984.[19]
Azerbaijan Mambetov started teaching at Alma-Ata Institute of Performing Arts (now known as Kazakh National Academy of Arts named after Zhurgenev) in 1970 and became a professor in 1979.[7]
Azerbaijan Mambetov was a member of the Filmmakers Union of the Kazakh SSR,[20] Chairman of the Kazakh Theatrical Society (Kazakhstani Union of Theater Professionals),[21] a CPSU member and a Deputy to the 9th Supreme Soviet of the Kazakh SSR. He became a People’s Deputy of the USSR in 1989,[22] and later was elected three times as a deputy of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan.[23]
