Open Art Theatre
Director: Oksana Terechenko
A musical theatre group for young people and adults with Down syndrome, this inspirational project is unique to Russia. The actors and musicians constantly rehearse in order to perform an impressive range of regularly-staged productions. In 2010 they presented Carmen and The Princess and the Pea, both of these were performed before a variety of different audiences. They pursue a policy of performing in Russian schools, in order to raise public awareness of Down syndrome.
