WAC made the dream of a young viewer come true
The WAC Department for Work with Local Representative offices organized a trip to the Abkhazian Drama Theater named after S. Chanba for students of the Arasadzykh Secondary School No. 2. Previously, the children participated in the “Aimadara” project, within which they visited the cultural and historical sights of the capital. During the excursion, the students shared with the department staff their little dream - to visit the Abkhazian Drama Theater. Today the children are back in the capital, their eyes are shining again. 25 people, including both students and teachers, attended the play “He and She,” dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the founder of Abkhazian literature Dmitry Gulia. People's Artists of Abkhazia Violetta Maan and Kesou Khagba are involved in the production. The director was Honored Artist of the Republic Madina Argun. The performance is based on Gulia’s work “Correspondence between a Boy and a Girl.”
The children watched breathlessly what was happening on stage, loudly applauded the actors, and reacted emotionally to the actions of the characters. After the performance, they long discussed the meaning of what they saw. They will remember this Friday evening for a long time.
