Our beloved actress, who has just returned from a trip, is happy about the event. She shared his impressions with us and thanked everyone who created these conditions for her - the staff of the Azerbaijani embassy in Ukraine, personally the leadership of the theater where she works, personally Elmira Akhundova and the organizers of the international festival. "Like many of my colleagues, I was disappointed that I was not able to stay away from the big stage and pursue my favorite profession due to the pandemic that engulfed the world. I missed the stage very much. It is priceless to here again. In fact, for an actress who had been without a theater and stage for a long time, suddenly appearing in front of an audience was a great risk and responsibility. However, everything turned out better than I expected. Even all the obstacles on the way to the festival, the plane-to-plane transitions, the sleepless nights, the tiredness of the intense rehearsals I did there on that eve - all disappeared in the blink of an eye to the applause of the audience.
