Do not count your chickens before they are hatched: New performance to be premiered in Yerevan (video)
Narek Duryan, a famous actor, director and founder of "La Boheme," is celebrating his birthday on April 26. The actor likes to celebrate his birthday with new performances.
This year, he his students are graduating from the Yerevan State Institute of Theatre and Cinematography and this new performance will be part of their diploma thesis.
“I wanted to introduce these young people to the audience, help them make their first appearance on stage,” says Mr Duryan.
“They wrote the plot and brought it to me. I read and liked it but … a terrible thing happened. It seemed that a competition had started between me, a man in his 50s, and those 20-year-old young people. I told them that they should not lose to me and now I am convinced that they will not,” he continues.
The performance entitled “Do not count your chickens before they are hatched” presents the relations between a lecturer and his students, relations between fathers and sons. A reality reflected in a performance, a performance woven into reality. And most importantly, the performance focuses on high values without unnecessary pathos.
Twenty-five actors will appear on the same stage at a time.
The premiere will take place on May 3
