Task

Client brief

The theater opened in 1993 with the performance «Қарагөз» based on Mukhtar Auezov's tragedy. The building is the first theater constructed in independent Kazakhstan, blending national motifs with contemporary architecture and a main hall seating 280. Since then, the theater has won national competitions and participated in the 17th Cairo International Festival of Experimental Theater. The website was built around the logic of theater audiences: some come looking for a specific show's schedule, others browse the full program, and still others want to learn about the company and its history. Each scenario has its own fast path to the right content. Bilingual interface — Kazakh and Russian. Online ticket sales through our ticket07.kz platform are planned for the future.
Outcome

What we shipped

Launched a bilingual website with sections for the program, repertoire, theater history, and company; mobile adaptation and SEO configured; integration with ticket07.kz for online ticket sales is planned.
Solution

How we did it

Theater websites are always about balancing two types of audiences. The regular patron knows what they want and comes with a specific question: «When is Қарагөз playing?». The newcomer browses the program and decides whether to go. The structure was built so both scenarios work from the first page. The Khadisha Bukeyeva Theater is an institution with its own character. There was no need to «improve it through design» — the task was simply to do the job well and with respect for its status. And that's exactly what we did. The repertoire section required extra attention. The theater has many productions with varying performance frequencies, plus tours and a children's theater within the main company — the structure had to accommodate all of this without confusion.
