The ArtIst Youth Theater will present Turkmenistan for the first time at the International Theater Festival of the CIS countries "Meetings in Russia", which will be held in St. Petersburg from April 7 to 16. This year the prestigious forum celebrates its quarter-century anniversary and is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the Russian playwright Alexander Ostrovsky.
Under the roof of the Baltic House Theater Festival, which, by the way, is the permanent organizer of the event, leading collectives of Russian theaters from 10 Commonwealth countries – Azerbaijan, Armenia, Abkhazia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Russia will gather.
By the way, the selection of productions for showing on the St. Petersburg site is also conducted by the Baltic House, which has already "hung" on its [website](https://baltic-house.ru/festivali-i-proekty/page /?festivals=267) a poster with upcoming performances. The program will be opened by the fairy tale "The Snow Maiden" staged by the Kazakh National Russian Drama Theater named after Mikhail Lermontov.
The Turkmen Theater with its performance "Profitable Place" will take the stage on April 10. Tickets are already on sale, and you can also buy them online on the organizers' [website]( https://baltic-house.ru/afisha /?ELEMENT_ID=1642).
The premiere of the production "Profitable Place" based on the play by Alexander Ostrovsky in Ashgabat took place on the stage of the Artist Theater in November last year. The play tells about the eternal dilemma between moral principles and the desire for wealth, which is able to solve many life problems in an instant. Directed by Mekan Jumabayev, the main roles are played by artists Vasily Andronov, Igor Annaklychev, Nina Supanko, Mekan Jumabayev and others.
The artists of the theater also prepared for the guests of the St. Petersburg festival another colorful mini-theatrical performance with the performance of the national dance "Kusht-depdi". They will "serve" this cultural number in the style of a flash mob and everyone present in the hall will be able to dance to incendiary Turkmen music.
The St. Petersburg Theater Festival "Meetings in Russia", which turns 25 this year, introduces viewers to Russian theaters abroad. The forum always "opens" new names in the world of theater to the public.
Russian Theater Abroad as an Institute of Russian Culture International Conference will also be held in St. Petersburg during the festival. And the most anticipated event is the "Fair of Young Directing", where students of creative universities present their theater projects. Their performances are evaluated by artistic directors of theaters, directors and playwrights.
