/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Actor Stepan Gantralyan made a report entitled
"Modern Armenian theater" during a meeting with the Armenian community
of Berlin on June 26. He also commented on "With no right to return"
performance staged in Yerevan Paronyan Theater on April 23, with
Armen Jigarkhanyan, Samvel Mujikyan, Stepan Gantralyan, Nora Armani
and Armine Hohvannisyan starring.

"The Armenian audience differed in opinions. Our performance coincided
with some political processes and acquired a kind of political
coloring. But art is not a reflection of politics. Modern devices
do not determine the essence of the theater," Gantralyan told a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"I spent 30 years in Armenia and I have the right to draw parallels
between the old and modern theater, to comment on advantages and
shortcomings," he said.
