The folklore of the Buryat ethnicity represents quite a complex and multistage area. It includes the Man's embodied views and attitudes to the surrounding world.  It also reflects the whole circle of everyday life of the person starting from his or her birth. Moreover, the ideas of space, heaven, elements of water and fire are spiritualized. Legends and tales fascinate people by the fact that their images personify thoughts and feelings of the person, his or her hope for the better future. Legends help people to learn and explain their past and the present.

In this performance, directors have decided to depart a little from a habitual format of the projects having been created recently. The task was to return back to simplicity of forms of national songs and dances, but, at the same time, maintaining the philosophy and depth of the Buryat folklore. The performance takes myths and legends of Lake Baikal area as a basis. The authors seek for their harmonious combination in one story where the key link is the image of the lake. It is a well known fact that the female ruler of Baikal appears to us in an image of the majestic almighty grandmother in ancient Buryat myths and legends. She is truly good-natured and benevolent if one treats her faithfully and respectfully, but she becomes impetuously angry and morose if someone shows her disrespect or negligence. The Buryat tribes living at the lake addressed her differently: she could be Baygal Dalain Ezhen Ekhe Toodei - the Great grandma, the ruler of Baikal; as well as  Baygal Dalain Ekhe Abay-hatun – the mother of Baikal - Abay-hatun, the Life Giver. Allegedly, with arrival of the Russian pilgrims, the image of Baikal has gradually changed from Kind Mother into the Mighty Severe Old Man. One of the ideas of this  performance is to let the viewer learn that our ancestors perceived the essence of Lake Baikal as not severe and cold, but on the contrary, according to legends and tales as something native, warm, and close. Baikal is the Mother. Baikal gives life to the people living on its shores.

The nomadic ways of the complex by structure nation was prevalent in the representation of the culture of the Buryat ethnicity for a long time. In this new performance directors will present the culture of lakeside Buryats who have lived on the shores of  Baikal for centuries. Through their vision of the world around, the audience will be able to get absorbed into the mythical past of the people. The sounds of the taiga forest, as well as the steppe tunes will be replace by the sounds of the tide and surf ashore, the rhythms of the running horses will be replaced by the rhythms of the wave beating at the board of the boat of the Baikal fisherman.

Hence, the actors of the theater will change their habitual roles. So, the ballet dancers can start singing, whereas some dances will  be performed with voices of birds and animals in the background. The vocalists will report their images not only with the help of the voices, but also use some body movements. Away from new statement there will be no The orchestra musicians of the theater will also perform in an unysual way. The musical score of the performance includes the noise and percussion instruments made of the Baikal stones, as well as the traditional Buryat instruments, some of them having ancient origin. Such musical component of the performance will lead  to the certain special style transferring the magnificence of sounds and noise of the great lake to the ears of the audience. Through music, dances and songs of this new performance, the spectators will be able to watch and hear  the variety of myths and legends of people living around sacred Lake Baikal.
