Panel discussion "Protection and Promotion of Traditional Values through Theater Art - BRICS Cultural Strategy". The participants discussed the main trends in the field of theater art and its impact on the protection of traditional values.

The task of the BRICS countries is to create an alternative to the existing global infrastructure, emphasized Sergei Markov, political scientist and Director of the Institute for Political Studies. According to him, this also applies to the sphere of art.

"This is a job for all areas. Today, almost all theater festivals are controlled by the West. The mainstream of BRICS development is the creation of parallel global infrastructure systems for all countries - not just for unification. This is a magnificent, brilliant work - to create a new world of modern humanity," said Sergei Markov.

Theater also plays a great role in preserving traditional values, said Sri Prem Prayojan, founder and president of the International Chaitanya Academy and curator of the Veda Renaissance International Theater.

"Those societies that have traditional values have been able to survive from ancient times to today. Others have disappeared with the passage of centuries. Political decisions now need to be taken keeping in mind the moral principles that are embedded in these values. They are consonant with the laws of nature. Their absence leads to the disintegration of society," said Sri Prem Prayojan.

The panel discussion was held within the framework of the VII International Festival of Theater Schools of the BRICS+ countries, which is taking place at the RUSSIA EXPO from June 1 to 8.

The BRICS International Festival of Theatre Schools is organized by the Institute of Theatre Art named after People's Artist of the USSR I.D. Kobzon and has been held in Russia since 2017. As a form of public diplomacy, the initiative aims to foster and develop friendly ties between the student youth of the BRICS countries and Belarus. The festival is supported by the Presidential Grants Foundation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
