The RUSSIA EXPO is hosting the BRICS+ International Festival of Theater Schools. It is attended by Russian artists and cultural figures, as well as children's choreographic groups and soloists. The festival will last until June 8 and will be attended by representatives of theater schools from India, China, South Africa, Russia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, as well as Belarus.

According to Paul Griffiths, co-director of the BRICS Theater Schools Festival, the participants will not only work together, but also learn skills from each other. "Together we will explore the great Russian classics, add our own flavor to them and combine our visions in one final performance," says Paul Griffiths.

Anastasia Zvyagina, Deputy Director General of the RUSSIA EXPO, emphasizes that during the festival young actors will get to know each other and establish contacts. She said that theaters from different countries will show their interpretations of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin's "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish", the 225th anniversary of his birth will also be celebrated on a large scale at the Exposition.

"For eight days there will be masterclasses on acting, on stage speech. And the culmination of the festival will be a large joint performance. It is especially important that the guys will get acquainted with our country, with Moscow, with each other. Maybe some of them will become friends for life," said Anastasia Zvyagina, Deputy Director General of the RUSSIA EXPO.

The festival promotes cultural rapprochement between the BRICS countries, said Abdulhamid Al Rumaithi, a representative of the UAE's ruling dynasty. "It is a great exchange between cultures, it is wonderful that we can meet and show each other what we have managed to do," he said.

The festival will end with a performance in the format of "Let's Play Together!" - artists from different countries will take part in a joint performance based on the fairy tale, which will unite the vision of the work in different cultures.
