‘HAYFEST’ THEATRICAL FESTIVAL TO BE HELD IN YEREVAN FOR FOURTH TIME
In 2003 most of the Armenian spectators weren’t encouraged with the foreign performances included in "Hayfest"" first international theatrical festival. This year, the forth festival will represent a larger perspective of the contemporary theatre to the Armenian spectators. The organizers of "Hayfest " theatrical festival stated about this at the press conference at the Yerevan State Puppet Theatre. They added that the festival is sponsored by RA prime minister and RA defense minister. The organizers of the festival would also like to get the financial assistance form RA Ministry, as well, and they expect that to happen next year. Meanwhile, from October 4, 50 theatre troops from the world will represent their performances at the Yerevan theatres. Within the framework of "Hayfest," they envisage to hold also the international festival of youth and puppet theatres. Arthur Ghukasian, head of the Yerevan State Puppet Theatre stated in response to the question of Azg, that they paid more attention to genres of the plays, to the structure of the troops and to the prices of the performances, rather than to their content. He added that the festival has no nominations or awards. The festival is directed to contribute to the development of the cultural policy and art management spheres in Armenia. The organizers have also included master classes in the course of the festival for the Armenian students.
It’s worth mentioning that only 20 local theatrical troops will participate in the festival.
