The festival will take place at the Russian Institute of Theater Arts (GITIS) on November 7-14, bringing together theater schools from Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Russia, and other countries.

In 2020, the Russian Institute of Theater Arts (GITIS) prepared a cycle of education programs for professional actors, directors, and university professors from different countries.

The main goal of the project is to promote the traditions of the Russian theater school, and strengthen cultural ties between the theater communities.
