We open new names and new directions of dance art from
all over the world for Russian audience
Introductory word and direction

Over the past year, despite the pandemic and the obstacles that have arisen, we have been working on a new program.  On this path, we did not escape losses - we were forced to forgo the participation of companies from New Zealand, Brazil, and Israel.  The main thing is that the festival will take place!

Over the past year, despite the pandemic and the obstacles that have arisen, we have been working on a new program.  On this path, we did not escape losses - we were forced to forgo the participation of companies from New Zealand, Brazil, and Israel.  The main thing is that the festival will take place!

For the first time, the Staatstheater Mainz, the company of Viviana Durante and Spellbound will perform within the framework of the festival.  The playbill includes stars of modern choreography - Sharon Eyal, Marcos Morau, Eric Gaultier.  The name of the classicist Frederick Ashton coexists with the nouvelle danse classic Angelin Preljocaj. We have the opportunity to play with the classical names and symbols of "Swan Lake" and the immortal dying "Swan", to get acquainted with their new versions.  We will show a dedication to the great Isadora Duncan, the pioneer of free dance.  There will also be an unusual "space" joint production by Omar Razhekh with Russian artists.

The festival would like to thank its sponsors who supported the festival despite all the economic difficulties.

We believe that the festival audience will appreciate our common aspiration through the diversity of Dance to regain a Life saturated with vivid impressions and positive emotions.
