The 6th Republican Festival of Young Directors kicked off today and
will continue through November 30. The event has been organized at
the initiative of the Theatre Workers' Union of Armenia with the
support of the Ministry of Culture.
The festival, which was first held in Armenia in 2006, aims to present
the new performances of young directors and reveal new names.
According to theatre critic Levon Mutafyan, it provides young directors
with a brilliant opportunity to present their performances on the
professional stage. "It is also a chance to open the windows and get
out of the theatre vacuum, from the self-sufficient situation we have
found ourselves in," he said.
The festival cooperates with the Chekhov Festival of Moscow. Armenian
young directors participate in the summer school of the Chekhov
Festival, thus having an opportunity to feel the pulse of international
theatre life.
Secretary of the Theatre Workers' Union of Armenia Sona Meloyan says
one of the achievements of the festival is that it has grown into a
republican one, while initially it was held only in Yerevan.
