the 5th time is not only fully-fledged, but also has its place among
other international theatrical festivals. It was mentioned that within
the framework of the festival the Armenian spectators will have a
possibility to watch a number of interesting performances. One of
them, "…To Be" performance of Kiev Ivan Franko National Theater,
