"The most significant theatrical event in the country." Marat Markov took part in the opening ceremony of the White Vezha

The International Theatre Festival “White Vezha”, which opened in Brest with the show of the ballet “Swan Lake” on the river embankment, became the most significant theatrical event in Belarus. This was stated by the Minister of culture Marat Markov during the opening ceremony of the forum, reports BelTA.

I am very happy to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the festival with you. It was not just held, but really became the most significant theatrical event in our country. The festival is symbolic to some extent. The audience will see 30 collectives, 30 theater productions. Teams from 10 countries will perform, the productions will be performed in nine languages. This has never happened either on the scale of this festival or on the scale of the country, the Minister of Culture said.

He expressed confidence that the tradition of the forum will continue from year to year.

Deputy Chairman of the Brest Regional Executive Committee Viktor Rafalovich called the 30th anniversary an important milestone in the history of culture of the region.

“During these 30 years, theaters from more than 60 countries have performed on the stage. We saw a lot of wonderful talented actors, original creative decisions of directors. Most importantly, we received a huge amount of positive emotions, he added.

For ten days, the audience will be shown multi-genre productions. The closing ceremony of the White Vezha will take place on September 19.
