HAYFEST AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS

September 28- October 6 the third theater festival Hayfest will be held in
Yerevan. Theater groups from 40 countries including UK, Sweden, France will
take part in the festival.

that the performances will be given not only in Yerevan but also in the
regions. Besides, discussions and seminars with the participation of foreign
specialists will be held.

About 50 performances on various genres will be presented to the audience.

The festival initiators are convinced that the event will stimulate the
development of culture and tourism in Armenia. Producer Levon Abrahamyan
informed that the Ministry of Culture rendered no support to the
organization of the festival. `We addressed the ministries od culture of
other states and received some assistance. The other expenses were covered
with our own funds’, he said.

after G. Sundukyan. The closing ceremony will take place in the Puppet
