Though the construction works of the Yerevan circus were scheduled to
be accomplished by the end of this year, the art director of the
circus Sos Petrosyan told Tert.am they will probably be over by the
end of 2014.
`The works have launched a week ago. Currently a new base is being
laid. The new project is already ready having undergone a number of
changes,' he said.
On July 21, 2012, the circus's dome was exploded, later a decision was
made to explode the whole building which was done on September 8.
Petrosyan said according to initial project the appearance of the
circus was to be maintained while in that case it would not have a
parking lot. `Now our circus will not only have a parking lot but it
will be six meters higher. We are going to increase the number of
seats. If previously we had 1,563 soon we will have 2,300,' he said,
adding that previously the circus did not correspond to contemporary
standards.
He said the circus will have an opportunity to present water, ice, air
performances which was not possible to do previously.
The first performance in the newly constructed circus is slated for
March 2015 and will be dedicated to the 80th birthday anniversary of
renowned actor, comedian Leonid Yengibaryan.
`We will mark his 80th anniversary and organize an international
festival in Armenia. Guests from all over the world, circus groups
will visit our country throughout the year,' Petrosyan said.
