00:00The Great Desert City of Hiva in Uzbekistan is a special place.
00:24The Ichinkala, or Walled City, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
00:30But Hiva isn't just a museum. It's alive with rich cultural traditions, like puppetry.
00:43Step inside Hiva and you soon see its special connection to these quirky characters.
00:50The local theatre company regularly performs in the heart of the old city. Farahat is one
00:56of the talented puppeteers.
00:58Curious to know more, I asked her to show me some of the basics.
01:15Farahat, what are you going to show me?
01:22What do you reckon? Could you pull a few strings to get me some work?
01:37Yeah.
01:38Beaver's puppets are shaped, painted and brought to life by local artisans using traditional
01:47techniques.
01:48Muyasa, what are you doing right now?
01:51I'm ready to show me some of the puppets.
01:55And what makes a good puppet maker?
01:58From the spectacle, I'm ready to show me some of the characters in the character.
02:07Hiva's ancient walls hold many secrets.
02:23Founded by desert, the city was a vital oasis for weary traders traveling the Great Silk Road.
02:30The city was founded by Shem, the son of the biblical prophet.
02:58Noah.
03:01Throughout history, Hiva was also a great center of learning.
03:05It was the birthplace of the father of algebra, al-Kawarizmi.
03:09His Latinized name gave us the word algorithm.
03:13The Tosh Hovili Palace is one of the city's many marvels.
03:18Built in the 1830s by the ruling Khan for his four wives and forty concubines,
03:23it's a labyrinth of rooms and courtyards.
03:26Visitors can now peek inside the living quarters, including the harem.
03:31The Tosh Qalı Sarai is the
03:34Sharki Ensembling Durdana.
03:38The Tosh Qalı Sarai was founded by the 19th century.
03:40The Tosh Qalı Sarai was founded by the Hivari,
03:43the Hivari, the Hivari, the Hivari and the Hivari.
03:46The dance is deeply rooted in the culture of Hivari and the wider region.
03:54And as the day draws to a close, the city comes alive to a different beat.
03:59It's called Lazgi.
04:01And let's just say the rhythm has a way of pulling you in.
04:04Umabek, what's the dance trying to express?
04:19One of the things I'm trying to express is that people are living in a life,
04:24and the life of a human being brings in a life and the life of a human being.
04:29And those who are living in a life and can stay alive.
04:32And I can't stay alive.
04:33And I'll get them alive.
04:35And I'll get them alive.
04:38Uzbekistan's other ancient Silk Road cities like Samarkand and Bukhara
