Theater workshop “Homo Artisticus” presented a premiere performance on the stage of Altai Youth Theater

The folk amateur group of Altai Krai, the theater workshop “Homo Artisticus”, continued its anniversary season with the play “The Blizzard” on the stage of Altai State Theater for Children and Youth named after V.S. Zolotukhin.

A romantic comedy based on the story “The Blizzard” by A.S. Pushkin from the cycle of “The Belkin Tales” was presented to a large audience on November 20 at the leading venue of the city and region – Altai Youth Theater – as part of the regional theater festival “Bow”.

“The Blizzard” was directed by Tatyana Stibunova, Theater and Artistic Director of “Homo Artisticus”:

“The literary basis of the performance is the immortal classic, “The Blizzard” from the cycle of “The Belkin Tales” by A.S. Pushkin. The story, created several centuries ago, is still relevant today: teenagers have always made mistakes because of love. That is why the story “The Blizzard” is included in the school literature curriculum – the problems of the characters are close and understandable to modern boys and girls.”

After the performance, Tatyana Antonenko, Vice-Rector for Educational Work and Additional Education of Altai State University, addressed with words of greetings and congratulations.

Letters of gratitude from the Ministry of Culture of Altai Krai for their contribution to the development of the amateur theater movement in Altai Krai were awarded to Kirill Skobelin, Head of the theater workshop “Homo Artisticus”, and Tatyana Stibunova, Artistic Director of the workshop.

“It is symbolic and very joyful that the first performance of “Homo Artisticus” at a large professional theater venue in the city coincided with our anniversary.
