For almost a month, actors and directors from Belarus, Russia, France, Belgium and Italy have been penetrating Minsk life, learning about Stanislavsky’s theatrical heritage and bringing to life their observations in stage performances at the Republican Theatre of Belarusian Drama.
The theatre’s press secretary, Svetlana Latysheva, explains, “The idea for this French-Belarusian project originated during Fabrice Carrey’s studies at our Academy of Arts. Fabrice is the director of Demain Le Printemps French Theatrical Association. Working with the Teatro international public association, he found support among actors and directors from Belarus. Mr. Carrey regularly organises master classes and performances involving artistes from various countries and has been liaising with the Republican Theatre of Belarusian Drama for several years already.”
This May, the Republican Theatre of Belarusian Drama and Demain Le Printemps Association signed an agreement on co-operation and promotion of projects within Belarus and France. In April 2017, the Republican Theatre of Belarusian Drama will tour French cities, staging Three Giselles: in Paris, Nice, Bordeaux and Marseille.
