The Center for Contemporary Culture "Smena" to hold a public lecture themed: "A National Theatre and Theater itself"

February 21, 18.00,    a public lecture themed: "A National Theatre and Theater itself" to be held  at the Center for Contemporary Culture "Smena".  Leading lecturer  - Farid Bikchantaev, chief director of the Tatar State Academic Theatre  after  G. Kamal. This is the second theater lectures - a joint project of Kamal Theatre and "Smena".

Tatar theater, having  arisen at the beginning of the last century,  exists  in two dimensions. As the expresser of thoughts and aspirations of its people, the keeper of the literary language and cultural traditions, and as a modern theatrical body, rooted in the context of the global stage culture. These two trends  are  engaged  in dialogue, and sometimes in conflict, but more often it is an issue  of artistic synthesis.

What allows   Kamal theater   being  a deep national spirit and form to create performances that go beyond national art? What is the "National Theatre"? What is more important - loyalty to the traditions or the search for a new theatrical language?

 These difficult questions will try to  answer  the main theater director of  G.  Kamal   theatre  Farid Bikchantaev.

The lecture will be held on February 21,  18.00,  at the Center for Contemporary Culture "Smena"  at   steet  B.Shahidi 7.
