"There is no demand of art of absurd, in particular the theatre in
Armenia and as for the realistic theatre, it has no connection with
the real art," said Armen Mehrabyan, in press conference today.

According to him those realistic theatres are failure. They do not
mirror the life itself, as life is closer to absurd. "The audience
got used to soup operas which do but harm to them," he said.

A statement has been made that once allegoric genre was introduced
into Armenian theatre but it died. According to the experts theatre
should excite people.
