The V Moscow International Open Book Festival opens at the Central House of Artists. Over four days, more than 400 events will take place in the courtyard and on the internal sites of the Central House of Artists, filling the book, children's, music and film programs of the festival. Like the autumn Non-Fiction, this summer book fest in the Central House of Artists is very good: all the books a person needs at warehouse prices are here; here the most pleasant faces are collected in high concentration. There will be readings dedicated to the phenomenon of cultural autonomy in modern Russia, the Russian diaspora: is there one Russian literature or many? Modern perception of history: the conversation will focus on the transformation of historical knowledge in the post-Soviet space. Sergey Gandlevsky, Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Dmitry Bykov, Leonid Yuzefovich, Andrey Gelasimov, Zakhar Prilepin, Maxim Osipov will perform at the festival.

In the theater "Practice" a concert of the Permian rock band "8 Suffering Horses". Critics define the direction of their music as post-grunge. The musicians themselves are harsh to themselves: “Russian rock has ceased to delight even with poetry. The situation closed in on unreasonable copying of the West, in the complete absence of a sense of style and its laws. An alternative scene in an equally sad position. And only rare glimpses of sanity make it possible to take a breath of fresh, clean and honest air. By living these principles and seeing this decay around us, we have no right to make dishonest music.”

Start at 20.00

June 15

In the confectionery shop of the Krasny Oktyabr factory, an exhibition of a social poster “I was deprived of my home, but I cannot be deprived of my future” opens. The exhibition is hosted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The curators chose an abandoned factory because the dilapidated workshop immerses them in the life of refugees. You can see all of the competition entries here:

In the Youth Theater (RAMT) as part of the Chekhov Theater Festival, the premiere of the play "Chekhov Gala" based on one-act plays. On the stage - the entire troupe of the theater. We believe in RAMT and director Borodin - he will not force, like Franz Castorf, to speak of three sisters as dying zombies. A series of acting benefit performances is promised, and this is such a spectacular genre!

Also June 18th. Start at 19.00
