Theater Olympus presents the best performances of regional theaters

SOCHI. The main resort of the Krasnodar Territory once again hosts the federal festival "Theater Olympus". Unfortunately, many of the theaters wishing to participate in the festival-contest program were unable to come to Sochi due to lack of funds. As a result, only seven groups arrived to conquer Theater Olympus, sixteen regional theaters revoked their applications.

Five theaters representing different regions of our country participate in the competition program. The festival was opened by the Transbaikal Patterns collective, which showed on Sunday afternoon at the Winter Theater the family performance “Magic Fairy Tale”. In the evening, the same team invited adult spectators to the play "Old Photos Tell."

A musical performance dedicated to the military history of the country has been part of the theater’s repertoire for seven years. "Transbaikal patterns" with great success showed it in many cities of China. Each season, this original production, which has become part of a project called “Holy Love for the Homeland,” is updated. New plots are included in the play, new stories are told. Thanks to this peculiar form of the play, it can remain in the theater’s repertoire forever.

The next two days, the stage of the Winter Theater was given to the winners of last year’s "Theater Olympus" - the Drama Theater from the city of Vladimir. This year their work does not participate in the competition. Vladimir artists brought to Sochi two performances intended for children. Adult viewers got acquainted with the premiere of this season - the play "The Young Guard", as well as the legend about the prince-builder - the play "Andrei Bogolyubsky", which has already become the hallmark of the Vladimir troupe.

The Theater Olympus awaits the audience for a week, and on June 29 its winners will be announced.
