When the Israeli-American prodigy Gil Shaham first appeared in Moscow ten years ago in a concert of the Russian National Orchestra, he was called Gil Shachem. Then he performed as a soloist in Glazunov’s Concerto (there is a recording on Deutsche Grammophon), and then touchingly sat down at the last stand of the first violins to play Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony with everyone under Mikhail Pletnev’s baton.

“Falstaff” and “The Turn of the Screw” by the Mariinsky Theater This year, Kirill Serebrennikov shot a film, held a festival and staged an opera. And this is in addition to the actual dramatic performances. For a successful modern theatrical ### Ghosts seducing - it's scary to think about - the director's two small children is something like building a house, planting a tree and giving birth to a son.

Theater "Vampiter" (Novosibirsk) Another project created under the leadership of Alexander Pepelyaev, who acted as director in this case. Having edited the results of the work of two choreographers (Daria Buzovkina, Martin Forsberg), two writers (Stanislav Lvovsky, Christina Ozonidis) and three dancers, Pepelyaev produced a completely exportable dance product, which is interesting to watch and not difficult at all, including for fans of Shakespeare. However, there was no trace left of him.

“Iguana Dance Theater” (St. Petersburg) It’s a pity that the festival organizers included this work in the daytime program, thereby reducing its chances of selling out many times over: “Displaced Persons” is one of the strongest works in the TSEKH program.

Dance Theater "Verkhotura" and Ensemble "Toloka" (Kaliningrad) A strange mix of live folk singing and modern choreography performed by one singer and one dancer from Kaliningrad. Recommended for viewing by those who love this very folk singing, but at the same time also understand modern art. Otherwise, one thing will certainly irritate you.

Despite the fact that Bershka is a Spanish brand, the teenagers in the advertising campaign look like real Londoners 229 61 36, pl. Kievsky Vokzal, 2, “European” @ Kyiv, Mon-Sun 10.00-22.00 Bershka is Spanish clothing for teenagers, similar to other brands of this kind - for example, Zara, but cheaper, or H&M. The story is simple: you come, in an hour you pick out all the most important trends of the season for little money, wear it for three months and happily forget about it.

(Saw III) Darren Lynn Bosman. Starring Tobin Bell, Angus Macfadyen, Dina Meyer, Bahar Soumekh. USA, 2006, dubbed The inventive maniac Saw (Bell) felt unwell before, but now he’s really bad: his smart head is bursting from the inside with an inoperable cerebral hernia.

Illustrated encyclopedias, sensational investigations, fundamental biographies, thousand-page guidebooks and collections of puzzling articles obliterate the reader like arctic hummocks.
