TAKE NOTE !
La Paix, a success in Gyumri
Our support of the amazing theatre director Hrach is giving quick results
When we met Hrach and his
theatre troupe in Yegheknadzor
last year, we were stunned at
what he was able to achieve in,
firstly, such a remote area, and
secondly with minimal resources
and help. AAF representatives
Antoine and Sheila got to work
and found an amazing donor of
Persian descent who had visited
them in Armenia and
understood! With this help we
are able to keep Hrach in town,
doing what he is best at. So
many talented teachers and
performers are forced to find
employment in unrelated fields
to make a living.
His work is paying off
already. One of the plays
he directed there "La Paix",
was chosen to be part of
the Francophonie events
in Gyumri last month. The
troupe will perform again
this French play at the
Francophonie Summit in
October!
It is our hope that with the
new positive movement in
Armenia, cultural
education will reach new
heights and the type of
work the AAF does will be
institutionalized.
