For the second time, we are opening the cultural diversity of puppet theatre to Muscovites and guests of the capital. Five festival days, five participating countries – every day the audience will be immersed in a new culture, learning about traditions, and comprehending the art of puppetry. This time, we dive into "Origins" of very different cultures. "Scythian stelae" of the Donetsk Puppet Theatre and "Calaveritas" of the Mexican "Mil Rostros Teatro", "Kamal’s Comedies" of the Tatar Puppet Theatre "Ekiyat" and the Mongolian "Morin Khuur".
We travel to the origins, to the beginning of all beginnings, to find the source code of things, events, and phenomena. We want to reach the very essence and find the source code of things, events, and phenomena. But this path from the origins to the boundless ocean of puppetry art cannot be taken alone, and so hundreds of living streams of creativity flow like rivers into the world cultural ethnic-ocean!
