The international festival of final year shows “Your Chance | GITIS-fest” opens today, bringing together theatre schools from Russia, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region.
From April 14 to 30, the Theatre Center “Na Strastnom” will host 17 productions from Russian theatre universities. From April 21 to 30, GITIS Theatre will present 10 performances, six of which will be by international theatre schools. Participants include institutions from Kazakhstan, Belarus, China, India, Brazil.
“Your Chance | GITIS-fest is a festival of student productions and student achievements. From the very beginning, we envisioned the festival as a platform for growth, development, and expanding international cooperation with our partner countries. Student theatre allows us to imagine not only the theatre of tomorrow, but the theatre of the next 10, 20, or even 50 years — because today’s students will be the ones shaping theatre throughout this century,”
— said GITIS Rector Grigory Zaslavsky.
