A unique project “National Living Rooms” has been launched in the House of Friendship of the Peoples of the Republic of Karelia!

Cultural Event

18/10/2024 0:00 - 06/11/2024 0:00

Europe and North America | Petrozavodsk | 3, Titov str.

Cultural performance

Languages: Karelian (Karelia), Russian, Mari (Russia), Azerbaijani

We opened the doors to the world of living traditions and cultures: Azerbaijani dances fascinated with grace, the Mari folk tale came to life right on stage, turning into a theatrical adaptation, and the finest carved patterns of Belarusian art revealed the magic of ancient craftsmanship. And how can you not admire the amazing dolls — heroes of the epic poem “Kalevala“, created by the masters of the Karelian Folk Theater “Čičiliušku“?

The participants learned a lot of interesting facts about the traditions of different peoples, and also tried themselves in exciting master classes.
