In the vast steppes of Mongolia, where nomadic traditions continue to shape daily life, a unique film and theatre culture thrives—one that bridges centuries-old customs with contemporary storytelling.
We media shovel spoke with actors from a recent Mongolian production, exploring their approach to acting, family life, and the cultural narratives that define their craft.

The project, a multimedia work blending outdoor theatre, musical performance, and drama, immerses its performers in traditional Mongolian lifestyles.
One actor explained that the cast spent over a year living in rural communities, experiencing firsthand the rhythms and challenges of nomadic life. “It’s not just about acting,”
he said. “We needed to understand how people lived, worked, and celebrated together. That experience shaped every scene we performed.”

Despite the isolation of rural life, the actors highlighted the importance of family and community. In Mongolia, larger families remain common, and children are raised with deep respect for cultural traditions. “Family is everything,” the actor emphasized. “We live, learn, and support each other together. That sense of unity translates directly to our work on stage and screen.”
The actors’ training is as rigorous as it is diverse. Many study both theatre and film, often at international institutions, while also mastering English and modern performance techniques.
Years of experience in local theatre provide the foundation for their performances, blending classical acting with contemporary storytelling.
Their recent project, which premiered in both theatres and outdoor venues, is rooted in modern Mongolian history, exploring themes of cultural preservation, community, and identity. “It’s about capturing a moment in time,” one actor said. “Through our performances, we can share the Mongolian way of life with audiences who might never visit our homeland.”

Balancing modern life and traditional values remains a central theme for these performers. While cities offer technological convenience and opportunities, the actors remain deeply connected to rural landscapes, where children can grow up immersed in heritage and nature.
This dual perspective—urban and rural—enriches their storytelling and offers audiences a nuanced glimpse into Mongolian society.
Through this lens, the actors are not just performers—they are cultural ambassadors, translating the rhythms of Mongolian life into compelling narratives for the global stage.
In Mongolia’s sweeping steppes, a new generation of actors is redefining performance by immersing themselves in the rhythms of nomadic life. One actor reflects, “It’s not just about acting—we live the stories we tell.”

Their training blends theatre, film, and modern techniques, yet remains rooted in centuries-old traditions. Family and community are central, shaping both their lives and performances.
Their latest project, performed in theatres and open landscapes alike, captures Mongolia’s evolving cultural identity.
“Through our work, audiences experience a world they might never visit,” says the actor, “yet it feels deeply familiar to us.”
For these performers, acting is more than craft—it’s a dialogue between past and present, home and stage.
