Summer Festival of Arts "The Access Point"

the access point has always been exploring new territories for theatre. this year’s new territory is virtual space, the internet as such. we have already ventured into it, having launched the spontaneous programme, our online theatre laboratory. now it’s the time for the main programme, which will include projects by major international directors who work online. the festival will welcome authors from uk, germany, russia, latvia, switzerland and other countries. the festival will also feature a diverse educational programme, which will make lectures by theatre theorists and practitioners available to anyone (who understands russian). british director tassos stevens will teach a week-long workshop on creating performances that balance between game development and theatre. we hope that the festival will become a major research platform for online theatre and new art.
