Students of the Directing Faculty of GITIS presented Anton Chekhov’s “Cherry Orchard” at the International Festival of the World Alliance for Theater Education (WTEA) in Beijing. The director of the production is a graduate student Egor Kovalev.
After the successful screening of the “Cherry Orchard” in Beijing, Gitis members attended the opening of the International Festival of Arts in the city of Guilin.
This year, WTEA participants were invited to Guilin so that theater schools from all over the world could show their work, share pedagogical experience and ideas for the development of theater education. The organizers hope that thanks to the new integration, the member schools of the World Alliance for Theater Education (WTEA) will get to know the traditions of China and the theatrical culture of different countries better.
On the opening day of the festival, the jury named the best actor and actress from each school. The best from GITIS were Semyon Shestakov and Evgenia Leonova.
In Guilin, the performance of Egor Kovalev was shown at the open area of Shan Shui Park, after which a discussion of the production took place.
The directing faculty of GITIS is returning to Moscow, and the acting faculty is flying to China, which will show the production of “The House with a Mezzanine and other Chekhov Stories” at the One Belt, One Way festival in Shanghai. Directed by Professor Olga Yakushkina.
