THEATRE
Mongol Khan is set to make its Asian premiere at Marina Bay Sands this October, promising to be a theatrical spectacle that combines song, dance, acrobatics and puppetry. Adapted from a three-act tragedy by Lkhagvasuren Bavuu, the play tells the fictional story of the ruler Archug Khan, set in the ancient realm of Mongolia some 2,000 years past.Two Queens, Tsetser and Gerel, both bore sons in close succession, yet a cloud of doubt hovered over the paternity of Tsetser’s child. The estranged relationship between Tsetser and Archug Khan fueled suspicions, and it was later revealed that her son was the result of an affair with Egereg, the trusted advisor.
Chancellor Egereg fervently attempted to convince Archug Khan of the legitimacy of Tsetser’s son, but after much contemplation, Archug Khan chose Gerel’s son, Prince Khuchir, as the rightful successor. Faced with this decision, Chancellor Egereg, determined to secure his son’s position, plotted to swap the infants secretly, manipulating the royal bloodline.
Unaware of the deceit, Archug Khan proceeded to crown Prince Achir, the offspring of Tsetser and Chancellor Egereg, during the co-enthronement ceremony. As the princes matured, Prince Achir faced challenges, developing epilepsy and displaying troubling behavior. Eventually, Archug Khan deemed him unfit for the throne, opting to pass the crown to Prince Khuchir instead.
In the interest of the Hunnu Empire’s future stability, Archug Khan made profound sacrifices. He executed Prince Achir and, to spare Queen Gerel the agony of outliving her assumed son, granted her an honorable execution. These sacrifices paved the way for the rightful heir, Prince Khuchir, the true son of Queen Gerel, to ascend the throne.
However, the tragedy escalated as Chancellor Egereg, consumed by grief and revenge for the loss of his son Prince Achir, murdered Prince Khuchir. Egereg, driven to overthrow Archug Khan and claim the title of Khan for himself, demanded the royal seal. In a climactic battle, Archug Khan emerged victorious, bringing an end to the tragic saga that had unfolded within the heart of the Hunnu Empire.
