Brief description of the problem and project.
From the Message of President V.V. Putin Federal Assembly RF dated December 12, 2012 : “At /…/ the beginningXXIcentury we are faced with a real /…/ value catastrophe. /…/ We must fully support institutions that are carriers of traditional values and have historically proven their ability to transmit them from generation to generation.”
In the theatrical sphere, such institutions are recognized repertory theaters– the main guardians of the national professional school and bearers of traditional universal spiritual and moral values.
However, it so happened that at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries, repertory theaters with their troupes, workshops, buildings, full-length creative projects entered, like the state as a whole, into a zone of economic “turbulence”. Market time presented them with a challenge and demanded an adequate response. To help groups maintain high professional dignity and adapt to harsh socio-economic realities, a new theater management was needed. And the Russian repertory theater, relying on effective world and domestic experience, created and develops it. The process is still uneven, the more valuable it is to widely disseminate the experience of national flagship theatres, which are represented by “Theatrical Olympus”.
The updated repertory theater of Russia today relies on high artistic traditions and advanced management technologies, and searches for innovative forms of interaction with the audience. As a focal point of the lens, the Theater Olympus festival in Sochi enlarges and focuses attention on event-related creative and organizational moments theatrical life countries, presents promising experience of domestic and foreign theater.
