- Abstract
The art of aitys, which has an important place in Kazakh oral literature, is a poetry duelling competition performed by at least two akins (ashiqs) before a large audience while mostly playing a dombra with the aim of defeating the other performer. The equivalent of "aitys" in Turkey is "atishma". Aitys (atishma) competitions, which are loved by people of all ages in Kazakhstan and which are normally organized at least once a month to celebrate national holidays and various important events as well as to commemorate national heroes, have not been organized for a long time due to the novel coronavirus that has swept across the globe. Therefore, the aitys competition held in the Kazakh city of Oral on 25-26 September 2020 after a hiatus of eight months with the participation of sixteen akins is greatly important. The aityses performed in this competition does not have written records yet; therefore, the study uses the video records available on the internet and examines them according to performance theory. These aityses focus on the developments that the Covid-19 pandemic has caused both globally and in the country, the pandemic-related restrictions over people's social lives, the measures that even prevent live audiences from attending aitys competitions, and the importance of wearing masks, social distancing and quarantining. In this regard, the performer, the audience and the aitys pieces are regarded as a whole; and the aityses, which are performed orally, are considered as a "live event".
