The Union of Theatre Workers of Armenia is holding Tavush-2005 Theatre
Festival with the participation of the actors from Yerevan’s theatres.

On October 1, Gabriel Sundukian Academic Theatre staged Muratsan’s
“Ruzan” in Ijevan. That very day the singers of Yerevan Opera and
Ballet Theatre performed in Dilijan. Hovhannes Tumanian Puppet Theatre
presented “The Three Piglets” in Touz.

The meeting in Khashtarak village of Ijevan was extremely interesting.

Haykaz Yeranosian introduced the life of honored artist of Armenia,
Armen Gulakian. Gulakian’s students, actor Vladimir Abajian and
reciter Svetlana Khanumian, presented a wonderful bouquet from the
Armenian poetry.

This action by the Theatre Workers’ Union was received with special
warmth in this village neighboring with Azerbaijan, as the last 10-15
years were a period of cultural stagnation for the village.
