The festival will feature Armenian and foreign actors in 15 performances, including "Lear" starring Armen Santrosyan, "Me?" starring Tsolak Mlke-Galstyan, "Scream" starring Anahit Mutafyan. The festival will host the following foreign guests: Stepan Ljubimov (Russia), Stepan Gantralyan (France-Germany), Anthony Nikoltchev (USA), Tomas Marso (France), Felix Kama (Cameroon-France), Yaroslav Gadjevski and Anna Skubik (Poland), as well as Lidiya Daniltchuk and Nora Armani, already familiar to Armenian Theater fanciers from Hayfest and Shakespeare Solo Performances festivals.

"ArmMono" Solo Performances Festival, due in Kafan on Apr. 13 - 17, will be held at newly opened Alexander Shirvanzade Theater, recently repaired thanks to Armenian Theater Workers contribution.
