27.03.24  19:00 The Great Gatsby
The play is being shown in English! The Great Gatsby is a journey into the turbulent twenties of the twentieth century, the search for happiness and love, broken dreams and hearts behind the facade of luxury. A play that will take your breath away.... The Great Gatsby is based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, first published in 1925 and considered one of the greatest novels in American literature. The action takes place during the "Roaring Twenties" in the summer of 1922 in the fictional towns of West Egg and East Egg on prosperous Long Island. Nick Carraway is a young man from Minnesota who moves to New York City to learn about the bond business.

15.11.23-31.03.24 Dmitry Nalbandyan. Impossibleisimpossible
The Moscow Museum of Modern Art presents a large-scale exhibition Impossibleisimpossible that will feature works by the People’s Artist of the USSR Dmitry Nalbandyan and is timed to the 30th anniversary of the Nalbandyan Workshop Museum, which since 2018 is part of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art. The project will showcase the genre and thematic diversity of Nalbandyan’s artistic heritage as well as the significance of his work for the history of Russian art. The exhibition at 25 Petrovka Street will be a key stage in the museum’s rethinking, updating, and repositioning the collection of the Nalbandyan Workshop Museum. The biography of Dmitry Nalbandyan is a story of a man who witnessed many historical events of his time. His career began in the early 1930s, and he quickly became famous as a master of the Soviet ceremonial portrait. Nalbandyan painted the leaders of the Soviet state, rulers of other countries, politicians, military leaders, scientists, and cosmonauts. The core of the artist’s official heritage is an extensive cycle dedicated to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Read more

21.02.24-31.03.24 Evgeniya Buravleva: Small Homeland
The project of the famous artist, one of the main figures in Russian painting today, is about her native places in the north of the Kirov region. A more universal meaning is the relationship of a person with the neighbourhood, the search for an authentic home, and the recovery of ties with the moments of an elusive existence. The exhibition is based on the new series Untamed Landscapes, which captures unremarkable, but significant for Buravleva locations in the Vaga village neighbourhood – fields, roads, hills, which have been on her mental map since childhood. Buravleva is inspired by the ascetic nature of the taiga region and yet “reads” her native landscape with a critical eye. She spots subtle traces of its transformation, whether because of agricultural land use, which shrank significantly in the post–Soviet period, or, on the contrary, because of intensive, year-round timber extraction.
