YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Representatives
of 14 countries are going to take part in the Armmono Fourth
International Shakespeare Theater Festival of Monoperformances to
be held on September 12-18 in Yerevan. 17 performances will be shown
during 7 days of the festival. As festival Director Hakob Ghazanchian
said at the September 11 press conference, it is the fourth time this
modest Yerevan festival tries to present the public the theatrical
and literary heritage of the great Englishman, Shakespeare. In Hakob
Ghazanchian's words, this year also Armmono will receive Robert Sturua,
but not as a guest, but as a participant. Sturua is a producer who
has staged Shakespeare and, particularly, "Hamlet", most of all in the
world. The well-known producer has staged a new "Hamlet" specially for
this festival. In Ghazanchian's words, this year 9 Armenian actors
take part in the festival, many of which, including Levon Ivanian,
Hasmik Ter-Karapetian, have not been on the stage for more than
20 years. Hakob Ghazanchian also said that "...and Legal Prison"
performance on the basis of "Hamlet" by Shakespeare was staged on
the initiative of the Stage Crossroad cultural center. Actors from
10 countries are engaged in the performance. Vardan Petrosian will
play the leading part of Hamlet. "All 10 actors will play in their
native tongues. This will be an unprecedented performance. And the
most important thing is that it will end unexpectedly and abruptly,"
Ghazanchian assured. All performances will be presented at the
hall of Yerevan Theater of Young Spectator, except "...and Legal
Prison." This performance will be shown every day at Stanislavski
Russian Dramatic Theater.
