The premiere of the performance was prepared as a creative gift and will be presented to the audience in Dashoguz during the Days of Culture of Turkmenistan held in Balkan Velayat, according to the "Turkmenistan: Golden Age" news outlet.

The protagonist faces numerous trials and obstacles set by his enemies, and furthermore, his beloved falls gravely ill. Following the advice of a wise elder, Gammar crafts a dutar, and the magical melody of the instrument heals the girl.
The new performance features renowned actors of the theater, including the Honored Artists of Turkmenistan H. Shyhyyew and M. Seyidow. The role of Gammar is masterfully portrayed by B. Dowliyew, while the ruler's daughter is played by M. Aristanowa.
