On the 9 September 2011 the Winter theatre in Sochi will host the introduction of the new project of the International festival-school “TERRITORIYA“ — the multimedia show “FULL MOON” (“POLNOLUNIE”). The show is the result of collaboration between festival’s art-direction and musical curator Theodor Currentzis, set up especially for the Cultural Olympiad “Sochi 2014”.

The Cultural Olympiad “Sochi 2014” is the unique project of first Russian Winter Games, that harbour one of the best cultural events of the country.

During the period 2010-2014 all over the country with Sochi in the center, different projects dedicated to : cinema (2010), theatre (2011), music (2012), museums (2013) will take place. A lot of concerts, festivals, shows, movies and exhibitions are ready to be represented to the world. The mission of The Cultural Olympiad “Sochi 2014” is to maintain and keep the unique cultural heritage of Russia and also to attract peoples’ attention to cultural life of the country and to The Winter 2014.

To make the information wide open the direction of the Cultural Olympiad started the official web-site — www.culture.sochi2014.com

The Year of Theatre is the second part of the (2011) program of The Cultural Olympiad “Sochi 2014”. More than 800 events during 2011 presented the traditions of academic and contemporary theatre. That’s why in 2011 under the aegis of The Cultural Olympiad, two most important and interesting projects were organized: The all-Russian children’s contest “The World of Peace” and The Theatrical Contest “Tekstura-Olymp”. The first one was intended to help children to re-examine their dreams and abilities, to express their creative potential, and meet real-life stars of the theater. And the latter has been called upon to find the best theatrical troupes in Russia. These budding theaters had a great chance to show off and get their own audience and fame.
