The winners of the festival "Irkutsk. Theater + April" were awarded in Irkutsk

IRKUTSK. Awarding of the winners ended in Irkutsk festival "Irkutsk. Theater + April. " Amateur theaters organized at schools and lyceums, youth theaters showed their work at the festival. The theater competition was held for the 19th time, traditionally timed to the festival "Spring Drops".

The organizer of this youth and youth forum was the culture department of the city administration. This year, students from the French city of Seino arrived at the festival. There is a theater class in the city’s school, and his students brought to the festival the production of Moliere’s famous play “Mean”.

According to Olga Aksametova, representative of the Irkutsk administration, the idea of arriving at a festival from France was born in an interview with Alin Fabress, president of the Alpsiberi Association. A story was heard about the festival "Spring Drops", which presented theatrical direction.

The result of this conversation was the arrival of French schoolchildren at the festival. It is interesting that when the performance was shown, part of the dialogues sounded in Russian. This was the first experience of participating in the festival of foreign participants. The festival organizers hope that the Irkutsk April theater festival will receive international status.

The festival jury, working under the direction of the director of the Dialog Theater, Valentina Prosekina, noted the excellent preparation of the performances of all the festival participants. During his work, the jury members watched thirty performances. Nine theater groups received festival awards, and the French Grand Prix took home the Grand Prix.

Traditionally, the best performers were chosen. “April” was Lyuko Dagostino from the city of Sejno, and the title “Aprelevka” was received by Veronika Alashkevich, the young actress of the Tale Theater.
