AUDIENCE'S APPRECIATIONS GREATEST VALUE, ARMENIAN PRODUCERS SAY
14:50 * 27.03.14
The theater has suffered most in Armenia in the recent 15 years,
but workers of theater receive the least awards, Honored Artist of
Armenia, Art Director of the G. Sundukyan theater Razmik Khosroyev
told reporters on Thursday, on the occasion of the World Theatre Day.
Art Director of the Puppet Theater Ruben Babayan does not share this
opinion. According to him, it is the audience's appreciation rather
than awards that is the greatest value.
"Can there be greater appreciation than the London audience surprised
at our performance of Shakespeare's King John?"
He spoke of a number of problems of the modern theater. Modern-day
requirements are different. Modern actors are supposed to be capable
of anything.
"In terms of management we are not making any progress. Times have
changed, but we have remained in the Soviet period," Babayan said.
In his turn, Khosroyev went on:
"May be we do not stage many plays, but we play our best," the actor
said. On the occasion of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide in
Ottoman Turkey the G. Sundukyan theater will stage 'Call of Plowmen'
by Khachik Dashtents.
Ruben Babayan said:
"We need to train actors and producers. But being a good actor or
producer does not mean being a good teacher. Two things in Armenia
do not meet international standards - pensions and theater tickets."
