From June 3-4, Moscow hosted the two-day Gorky Park Children’s Festival, which was created with the support of the Moscow Ministry of Culture and is planned to become an annual event in the future. It was visited by more than 72 thousand people. This was reported to Gazeza.Ru by the press service of Gorky Park.
It is stated that the festival covers the entire park, brings together theater and circus, science and art, music and dance, and therefore attracts a completely different audience, from family to theater professionals. In total, seven sites were waiting for their visitors with more than 70 educational and audience events.
For example, the children made cardboard instruments with the Cartonia State Theater or participated in circus performances from the Antiquarian Circus. The most visited place was the dance floor, where visitors were taught the stage movement. Other festival programs introduced children to the basics of programming, the art of creating electronic music, and animation.
The program of the first day of the festival was closed by the artists of the Ulus Theater, who gave a Persian-major concert consisting of Muslim Magamayev’s hits. At the end of the second day, People’s Artist of Russia Yevgeny Mironov sang Sergei Prokofiev’s symphonic fairy tale “Petya and the Wolf” with his son.
“This is a multi-genre festival and its mission is for children to grasp the full diversity of the world, not only through art, but also through science, sport and education. The organizers of NEBA have specialized in 7 areas of Gorky Park, where more than 70 events took place in two days. Think about it – theater and circus, science and art, music and dance, and add to this the activities in which the children themselves can participate, and you will understand how large-scale this festival has become, ”Mironov said in his impressions.
