“Rio Rita” – the joy of Victory”, art project
Legendary song "Rio Rita" spanish composer Enrique Santeuhini wrote for the Berlin club "Rio Rita" in 1937. In the USSR, this song was primarily associated with rare wartime parties. Its melody became the leitmotif of Pyotr Todorovsky’s film “War Romance” and gave the name to a new art project, the purpose of which was to try to create that unforgettable festive atmosphere that reigned in Leningrad after the victory.
People of all ages, professions and views will be united, as before, by music. For several hours, Ekateringofsky Park will turn into a grandiose dance floor; military brass bands of the city will play fiery dance tunes of the 1940s on improvised platforms. An authentic 1945 dress code is encouraged. Dresses, hats, red lipstick, perfume - at least a few touches to the portrait of that time, and - it's time to dance!

"Sleeping Beauty", ballet
A classic of Russian ballet staged by the State Children's Ballet Theater of St. Petersburg, which takes into account the peculiarities of children's perception. Music by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the humanistic idea of the fairy tale remains unchanged.
“Dancers After Midnight”, photo exhibition
The exhibition includes a series of photographs by an American photographer Jordan Matter taken on the night streets New York, Chicago, Amsterdam, London, Paris. Fashion models are ballet dancers who have taken off their clothes and demonstrated the plasticity of their bodies. The police tried to stop the performers about forty times, but the ballet dancers managed to practice all the planned poses, and the result was an impressive spectacle. Matter's characters are naked not only externally, but also internally: they demonstrate pure emotions, passion, ecstasy, and the unshakability of an idea.
