“Nur-Sultan is one of my favorite cities, I come here not really often, but the impression is always great. It is always interesting, I am happy every time I come here. Speaking of theatre life of Nur-Sultan, it is the center of theatre and culture not only of Kazakhstan, but of Central Asia. “Teatr ALL” is the first festival and I think that there will be the second one next year, because the fest is unique. This is a very necessary and important festival,” said Lasha Chkhartishvili, theatre critic from Georgia.
