Baku / 31.10.19 / Turan: On October 30, the Baku Administrative Economic Court No. 1 held a preliminary hearing on a lawsuit filed by the ADO Theater against the Azerbaijani Ministry of Culture.
Theater director Elmin Badalov, who came to the meeting with a cage on his head, called it a symbolic sign that freedom of art in the country was violated.
Judge Shahla Suleymanova filed a lawsuit with the Ministry of Culture, as their representative did not participate in the preparatory hearing. The next hearing will be announced after the ministry provides an official response, Badalov told the press.
ADO is the country's first independent theater; for more than two years now it has been making official inquiries to the Ministry of Culture and the Baku City Executive Power to demonstrate street performances.
However, both structures respond that this issue is not in their competence.
In this regard, the theater sued the Ministry of Culture.
According to the representative of ADO, an employee of the Department of the Theater of the Ministry of Culture Kenul Jafarova told them on the phone that the ministry opposed the ADO performance on the streets.
Citizens of the city also joined the signature collection campaign in support of the theater. To date, more than 1,600 citizens have signed up with a call to allow the organization of street representatives by ADO theater artists. -0-
