The theater forum is being held in St. Petersburg from 13 to 18 May.

Our country is represented by two teams. Grodno Regional Puppet Theater on May 15 showed the performance "Demon" based on the poem by M.Yu. Lermontov. The Brest Academic Theater closes the program of the holiday.

"This honorable mission falls to our theater for the second time. In 2019, we also closed the forum with the comedy "Slaves". Before that, we showed the performances "Uncle Vanya" and "The Catcher in the Rye". This is already our fourth visit to the festival. Impressions from Peter have always been the best. We hope that the new meeting will not be an exception," said Olesya Burdina.

A grotesque comedy with elements of clowning based on the play by Bertolt Brecht "Petty Bourgeois Wedding" will be shown on the evening of May 18 on the big stage of the Theater-Festival "Baltic House".
