The study of transforming national classics within the performing arts highlights the innovative reinterpretations of dramatic masterpieces by contemporary creators. This exploration examines the intricate system of these transformations, delving into the role and function of each element that underpins them. Employing structural problem analysis, comparative studies, and systematization, the research integrates these methods into a cohesive artistic framework. The study conducted from February to June 2024 identifies challenges in unifying national classics into a singular, comprehensive performing arts system, emphasizing the interconnectedness and interdependence of its components. Kazakhstan’s national performing arts are spotlighted as a distinctive segment of global culture, showing the richness of Kazakh traditions in acting, stage imagery, costume, and scenic design within the context of globalization. This research holds a practical value for the scientific study of performing arts and serves professionals, including actors, directors, and designers in modern productions. It also informs educational curricula in drama and theatre studies, providing insights into innovative interpretations of classic works and their application in the global artistic landscape. By exploring the synergy between tradition and modernity, the study underscores the enduring significance of national classics in shaping contemporary performing arts.
