Theater is a game. A game for actors and spectators. The most incredible wonders and events are possible only on the theater stage. Theater is a difficult and everyday work of big collective.  Hundreds of people are working hard for months in order to get bright and fascinating performance.  They are not only actors and producers, but dramatists, artists, lighters, wardrobe handlers, audio operators and many others.

And today during the Festival we can see the fruits of our labor. We can be happy not only for ourselves but also for our colleagues from other places!  We can exchange our opinions, feelings and impressions! And to get impetus to new achievements!
I greet all of you, theater knights, at the International Festival of Jewish theatrical art in Lviv!

May these five days become an event in your and our lives! Happy run to our theatrical Lion!

With love,
Adel Dianova, Director of “Hesed-Arieh”
