Mongolia stage decoration in the socialist period

Abstract

Prior to the establishment of professional theaters in Mongolia, operas and hymns were performed at the Ikh Khuree, and Tsam dances and Maitreya ceremonies were held at the Ikh Khuree, Erdene Zuu, and some major Mongolian temples. The results of the research show that these works of art, religion, and state ceremonies were designed by artists and craftsmen who were trained in arts and crafts, and were designed to be placed on stage and in the square, and to create clothes and accessories. For example, using wood, bone, stone, metal, leather, paper, and felt, traditional folk crafts such as sewing, stitching, weaving, gluing, carving, embossing, weaving, and painting are used to make Tsam costumes, masks, and stage set. The fact that the Mongolian stage design is a traditional art activity proves that it was a traditional art activity. After the People's Revolution of 1921, Mongolians established modern theatrical art, which created conditions for the development of various professions created on stage. An integral part of the development of the theater is the stage design and decoration. Stage decoration can be considered as a collective work of playwrights, directors, actors, composers and stage artists.
