Yasmina Reza's theater to arrive in Armenia
The Saté-Atre Theater Union in France, together with the Armenian Ministry of Culture, the French Embassy in Armenia and the International Organization of La Francophonie, will represent number of events dedicated to the drama of Yasmina Reza in Armenia. Within the framework of the Francophonie Summit, Saté-Atre Theater Union aims to make the renowned French contemporary dramatist Yasmina Reza's theater and works famous for the Armenian reader and audience. Yasmina Reza is one of the most-translated and featured modern French playwrights in the world who, unfortunately, is almost unknown to the Armenian reader and audience. Our project includes the following events: The play "God of Carnage" will be staged at Hovhannes Tumanyan State Puppet Theater. The same play will also be shown in French twice, exclusively for the Francophonie audience. The invited artists will also hold master classes for the students of the Yerevan State Institute of Theater and Cinema and for the professional actors of Hovhannes Tumanyan State Puppet Theater. Master Classes will also be available for French learners, which will help learn French through the Theater. Zangak Publishing House will publish the translations of six plays by Yasmina Reza. The presentation of the book will take place at the Zangak Publishing House. Theatrical reading of Reza's "Art" play will also be held at the same location. "Three Options of Life" play will be staged at LOFT, which will feature three directors. The union will also take master classes in Sevan. The supporters of our project are the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Armenia, the French Embassy in Armenia, the Métropole de Lyon, the CDI, the Overne-Rhône-Alps region, the IRAPA platform and the International Organization of Francophonie (OIF) as well as H. Tumanyan State Puppet Theater, Zangak Bookstore and Publishing House, LOFT, Av. Isahakyan Central Library and Yerevan City Hall.
