The festival in Yerevan started with Hakob Ghazanchian's "Double Bass", where actor Hovhannes Babakhanian again shone with his acting
Andrey Lyubimov's "A Ring From Above" (Russia) enraptured the audience with its gentle and emotional interpretation. NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamian that watched the performance told "Azg" daily, "Similar events fill us with new emotions".
Nora Armani's "Evocations of Armenia" (Great Britain) made an inimitable impression on the Armenian audience the third day of the festival. Nora Armani is known as a bold, enterprising and talented producer and actor in not only Armenian but also American and international theatrical circles. The "Sojourn at Ararat" performed by her is about the Armenian Genocide that together with the well-known actor and producer Gerald Papazian was presented in four languages in different parts of the world.

At the festival, Nora Armani performed to the accompaniment of well-known musician Davit Baqamjian's viola. She presented the works of Narekatsi, Hovhannes Tumanian, Paruyr Sevak, Gevorg Emin, Eghishe Charents and others in Armenian and English, in combination with the music of Komitas, Alan Hovhannes, Ekmalian and others.
