11TH HAYFEST INTERNATIONAL THEATER FESTIVAL TO OPEN ON OCT 1
Festival Coordinator Shohakat Galstyan told Tert.am that the best
plays have been selected. 1927's Edinburgh Showcase production will
inaugurate the festival.
The organizers showed an even stricter approach in electing foreign
companies.
"We are trying to encourage them because our companies are like
hibernating bears, waiting for the world to come to them," Galstyan
said.
"I can say that rather serious work is done throughout the year. The
art director and program executives visit all the prestigious festivals
and sign contracts. For example the contract for Miranda was signed
four years ago," Galstyan said.
This year the Hayfest festival has changed its audience
policy. Festival organizers have decided in favor of free admission
to all the plays, which will allow more viewers to see the plays. On
the opening day invitation cards will be distributed, but admission
will be free the following day.
"Next year we want to present a program of best Armenian plays. This
year we are presenting a program of best foreign plays. For many years
we have implemented a program of best Iranian plays," Galstyan said.
More than 1,500 companies from 50 countries have performed plays in
Armenia during the Hayfest festival for the past ten years.
