The performance of Vakhtangov Vladikavkaz Theater became the triumphant of the festival in Tskhinval

The performance “Leshi” of the Vakhtangov Russian Theater won both the audience and the expert jury of the “Chaika” festival in Tskhinval. The members of the jury – theatrical figures Galina Sazonova and Vladimir Sazhin – called the production the opening of the “new Chekhov”. Experts highly appreciated the acting ensemble, original directing and accurate transmission of Chekhov’s irony. The audience noted that the performance, devoid of unnecessary stage effects, allowed them to better understand the playwright thanks to sparkling humor and lively human emotions on stage.

In a solemn atmosphere, the troupe was presented with a diploma of the participant, a commemorative statuette of the Seagull and a diploma of the Ministry of Culture of South Ossetia. Artistic Director of the State Drama Theatre of the Republic Kazbek Jeliyev, who initiated the festival, called the Vakhtangov Russian Theatre a long-time friend and fraternal team associated with Ossetia with a common history since the evacuation during the Great Patriotic War. Recall, the festival “The Seagull” is held with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives; its poster included Chekhov’s productions of theaters from Moscow, Abkhazia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Adygea and both Ossetia.

The festival organizers noted that the participation of teams from different republics in a single poster strengthens cultural ties in the South of Russia and creates a stable platform for professional dialogue of theaters.

Earlier it was reported that the delegation of the KCR participates in the festival “Roads of unity and friendship” in Vladikavkaz.
