Yerevan once again hosting international theater companies

ArmInfo. The now-traditional Yerevan Theater Festival (YTF) will be held in the Armenian capital for the third time under the theme  "Creativity for  a Peaceful World". From November 19 to 30, it will host theater  companies from the USA, Germany, Georgia, and Turkey, and present  performances from local theaters, including the G. Sundukyan National  Academic Theater, the Yerevan State Pantomime Theater, and the  Hamazgayin (National) Theater named after S. Sargsyan. This year, the  festival has a special mission: to introduce Yerevan audiences to  Armenian theaters operating outside of Armenia, specifically the  Petros Adamyan State Drama Theater in Tbilisi and the Hangardz  Independent Theater Troupe from Turkey.

The festival will conclude with the dance performance "InC" by the  choreographic group Sasha Waltz & Guests (Germany). Notably, this  performance in Yerevan will feature 12 students from the  Choreographic School of Armenia.  Among the festival's guests is the  American theater group Lit Moon, already well-known thanks to the  ETF, which will present two performances: "King Lear" (based on  Shakespeare's play) and "Uncle Vanya" (based on Chekhov's play).

It should be noted that the press conference also included official  participation from the EU Ambassador to Armenia Vasilis Maragos,  Deputy Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sport of Armenia  Daniel Danielyan, and other officials.  The full festival program can  be found at the following link:   https://www.facebook.com/yerevanfestival/posts/pfbid02xyih8rKxdtvyyX4fYrTqd  YeE7Cqaw6svsUTfMSV2dHq1YkSRcMaCtGihBfuRUbe7l
