Theater X Festival to be held in Yerevan

The Third State Theater X Festival will be held in Yerevan, being organized with the support of Armenia’s Ministry of Culture and the National Theater Association. Theater troupes from Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic will participate in the Festival.

Festival’s director Ruben Babayan told journalists that sponsors are focusing more on the applied and practical components than solemnity of the festival.

“We’ve got enough solemn events in our lives in contradistinction to practical ones,” said Ruben Babayan. He pointed that the Festival has a state status and involves various theater troupes from Armenian and NKR regions.

According to Ruben Babayan, the theatre troupes will perform their best performance of 2009, which will then be discussed by jury and viewers.
