Baku / 01.07.19 / Turan: On June 23, the first independent Azerbaijani theater ADO held a street show in Tbilisi in front of the Svoboda metro station.
Tbilisi City Hall gave permission for this a few hours after the appeal, instructing the police to provide security.
The theater showed the performance "Crazy Heel", as well as excerpts from other works.
The performances of the ADO Theater are permeated with the spirit of freedom, said its founder and director Elmin Badalov. According to him, people in Azerbaijan have suppressed interest in the theater.
"Thinking about the ways of reviving interest in the theater, we decided to put the performances on the street. However, the Mayor"s Office of Baku and the Ministry of Culture of the country have been forwarding each other our appeals for permission to give street performances for a year. This tradition exists in many countries, but obstacles are created in Azerbaijan," he said.
The amateur theater ADO travels to regions of the country. The theater also participated in international festivals in France, Georgia, Turkey, Romania, Ukraine, Great Britain, and collaborates with artists from other countries. -16D-

In a world increasingly marred by the effects of climate change, art has emerged as an unexpected, yet powerful, platform for raising awareness and sparking conversations on environmental responsibility. One such endeavor is the exhibition "A Different Kind of Climate," currently on display at Kapellhaus with support from the Goethe-Institut. The timing of this exhibition is no coincidence, aligning with the upcoming COP29, the UN Climate Change Conference to be held in Baku from November 11 to 22. The exhibition seeks to engage audiences on pressing ecological issues, blending local and international perspectives.
