ArmInfo.. In light of the current situation, the High Fest International Performing Arts Festival is canceling some of the events that were supposed to take place from October 1 to 8.
As the organizers' statement notes: "Dear friends,
In light of the current situation, we regret to inform you that we are canceling a part of the High Fest festival events. Cultural exchange and collaboration have always held significant importance for us. Consequently, in partnership with the Avignon Festival, we are preserving the educational program, encompassing public discussions, roundtable sessions, and masterclasses.
We extend our gratitude to our partners, sponsors, guests, participants, and audiences. We firmly believe that art will persist as an enduring source of inspiration and illumination in our lives."
The High Fest International Performing Arts Festival has been held in Armenia since 2003. Over two decades, more than 500 foreign companies, 5,000 participants and guests took part in the festival. It is appropriate to note that in 2019, HIGH FEST entered the top leading festivals in Europe, and was declared the best in the territory of the former USSR (excluding Moscow).
