On September 24, as part of the international Francophone festival of performing arts "THEATRON," the Belgian puppet theater group "Chayka" will present the puppet show "Loko" at the State National Theater named after Sos Sargsyan.

 

Inspired by Nikolai Gogol's "The Diary of a Madman," "Loko" transports us to St. Petersburg in 1834 and tells the story of a modest official, Poprishchin, who, escaping from unbearable reality, gradually creates a new identity for himself. The puppets, acting, movement, and visual poetry blend together to create a delicate and unique theatrical world.

 

The performance speaks about the fragile boundaries between reality and imagination, reason and madness, loneliness, and the human desire to dream of another life.

 

The 15:00 performance is primarily intended for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences and is organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs of the Republic of Armenia as part of the social and inclusive program of the "THEATRON" festival. This collaboration is another step towards making theater and cultural life more accessible to various communities. The performance will also be shown to the general public at 19:30.

 

Directors: Natasha Belova, Tita Yakobeli. Duration: 1 hour (12+). Tickets are available at Tomsarkgh.am.
