This summer, Moscow is witnessing the launch of the first edition of the “Boulevard Theater” festival, where the central streets of the Russian capital are transformed into open theaters from July 15 to August 11.
This event comes as part of the “Summer in Moscow” project and features daily artistic and cultural events held in seven different stages.
A statement published on the Moscow Governorate website explained that the festival includes participation from well-known independent theater groups such as “Sovremennik”, “Lenkom Mark Zakharov”, and “Pyotr Fomenko’s Workshop”, in addition to the “Malaya Bronya” theatre.
These groups will present their improvised performances in pedestrian areas, making the city’s streets a live artistic platform that attracts theater and culture lovers.
The “Boulevard Theater” festival aims to enrich the cultural life in the city and provides a unique opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy theatrical works in an outdoor summer atmosphere, thus enhancing Moscow’s position as a leading cultural capital.
The “Boulevard” phenomenon is linked to street theaters that appeared in France in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, in which they presented light and entertaining theatrical performances, such as: comedy, music, and dance.
