The program will feature performances by various theatre companies.
In 2008, Ada Luana became one of the founders of the Cetor de Areas Isoladas theater company. Here, she began working on a trilogy project based on Chekhov's plays. In 2023, the play "To Moscow! Palimpsest" was presented as part of the II Pacific Festival in Vladivostok and the XVI Chekhov International Theater Festival in Moscow. The second part of the trilogy is "Jupiter and the Seagull." It's impossible to live without theater!" – the audience of the Alexandrinsky Theatre Festival in St. Petersburg in 2024 saw. The third performance, «Uncle Vanya», will be created together with the Primorsky Youth Theatre troupe for the Pacific Festival in 2026. The birth of this performance is a clear example of the Pacific Festival's activities aimed at the prospective development of theater in the region, professional cultural bridges between Russia and BRICS countries, and gaining new experience and knowledge by the local theater community.
Latin America as a theater continent has always been point of interest to Russian audiences.
Fr om Argentina, the performance "The Tempest" by the outstanding choreographer and classic of modern ballet, Mauricio Wainrot, will be brought. A true symbol of the Latin American ballet scene, he was the artistic director of the San Martin Theatre's Contemporary Ballet, the Royal Ballet of Flanders, and companies in Germany and Canada. "The Tempest" is the pinnacle of Weinroth's work and his signature piece, and it has been applauded by audiences at some of the world's most prestigious venues.
The second landmark production comes fr om Colombia, and its title refers to the heights of world literature: "No one writes to the colonel." The director of the play, Jorge Ali Triana, was not just a familiar face; he was a friend of Gabriel García Márquez and worked with him personally on theatrical adaptations of his works.
Another exclusive of the festival is a play from Malaysia, which will be presented in the Russian program for the first time. The director, Li Jin-sung, is a professional martial arts master. In his play "40 or Not," he has created a new synthetic form with the help of four actors.
The performance from Belarus will be an important part of the festival's concept, which aims to educate young audiences and foster a tradition of family theater visits. The charming story "Smart Dog Sonya" by the Belarusian State Puppet Theater is aimed at the youngest audience. Directed by Evgeny Kornyag, the most successful theater director in Belarus today, the play is rated 3+, and it is expected to attract the most discerning and critical audience, who will form the core of the Pacific Festival's future audience for many years to come.
