YEREVAN, MARCH 20, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Soon the Armenian
theater will have a new Theater Figures’ Company as a counterbalance
to the acting Armenian Theater Figures’ Union. The new company will
be founded by a group of art figures discontent with the work of
the Theater Figures’ Union who criticized the latter’s activity at
the congress held in late 2005, in particular, blaming them for not
responding to the theatrical processes developing in the world and
being guided by limits formed from Soviet years. As Ruben Babayan,
Art Director of Hovhannes Tumanian State Puppet Theater of Yerevan,
mentioned in his interview to Noyan Tapan correspondent, the new
company isn’t going to discredit the Theater Figures’ Union but
will just try to assist young creators in staging plays, as well
as to create the “free stage” notion, to organize discussions
of performances, master-classes, to help theaters in taking part
in festivals and tours, to create a united web site of Armenian
theaters. “We will try to become part of world theatrical developments
and processes by means of our company, as the Armenian theater with its
potential can create a new word and spirit fitting the 21th century,”
Ruben Babayan emphasized.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
