An unusual Lyudmila Zykina’s theatrical project ensemble “Russia” will immerse you in the atmosphere of one of the most ancient Russian holidays. On one hand, “Maslenitsa” is a full-fledged concert with an extensive musical program. On the other — a bright performance. There the artists, as if performing the traditional rites of each day of the Maslenitsa week, involve the viewer in the festive action and fun games. Just like a kaleidoscope, scenes of folk life flash before the viewer. Then Russian guys and girls come out to the square with a song to drive away the gloom and call for spring. The funny buffoons try to cheer the audience with their jokes, arrange a real “carnival of ditties”.
A vast Russian holiday is born on the stage, the mood of which captures everyone — the soloists, the conductor, the performers and the audience.
The performance “Maslenitsa” was created together with the unique folk group “Poverie”, whose work is designed to actualise the folklore culture of Russia.
