The Petros Adamian Tbilisi State Armenian Drama Theatre is badly in
need of repair. Although no performances are staged at the theatre
today, their actors go on tours in different cities of Georgia.
`We mostly visit Samtskhe-Javakhk. We have visited all
Armenian-populated villages. That means the theatre works. The sooner
the building is reconstructed, the better,' Director of the Theatre
Armen Bayanduryan said.
The Director said they are going to apply to the new Government,
asking to assume the reconstruction of the building.
Member of Bidzina Ivanishvili's party Goga Elibekov told `Radiolur'
that the Prime Minister is aware of the issue and is ready to provide
money for the reconstruction of the theatre. Elibekov is sure,
however, that this will take place only after the Director of the
theatre changes.
It's worth mentioning that even before entering politics Ivanishvili
provided sums to a number of cultural establishments, including the
Armenian Drama Theatre.
Today the attention is focused on the change of the leadership of the
theatre rather than its reconstruction.
Armen Bayanduryan says issues of the theatre cannot be addressed by
people far from arts. Besides, the theatre belongs to the Georgian
Ministry of Culture, he added.
'We must always remember that politics and theater are different
things,' he said.
The Petros Adamian Tbilisi State Armenian Drama Theatre has a history
of 156 years. It is the only state theatre in the world, which
functions outside Armenia. Armen Bayanduryan has headed the theatre
for more than ten years.
