The work of the “Código Moral” group is to say the least an extraordinary phenomenon. It rarely happens that a rock band can be of interest not only to the target audience, but also to music lovers of all stripes.
Experiments with sounds that go beyond the boundaries of genres create an amazing palette: guitar parts are replaced by jazzy improvisations, and wonderful pop motifs are harmoniously combined with soulful lyrical compositions. In a word, the “Moral Code” is not about trends, but about love for music in general.
“The Moral Code” does not give two identical concerts, each of them is a small improvisation, and old and familiar songs can sound completely new.
Premiere of the play “Tahir and Zuhra”
Moscow Jewish Theater “Shalom”
April 26, 27 and 28
The Shalom Theater’s new performance is both a tense reflection on modern slavery and a poignant romantic tale that translates the plot of an ancient oriental tale into a setting familiar to the viewer. In the play “Takhir and Zukhra”, based on the play of the same name by the young playwright Zukhra Yanikova, the threads of the fate of the worker Tahir and his beloved Zukhra, who want to challenge the fate of the eternal migrant workers, are intertwined with the parables from the Old Testament and legends from the East as Arabic script.
The director of the play, Murat Abulkatinov, a recent graduate of GITIS, answers the question about the main theme of the production in this way: “Myth, the birth of a hero, the birth of a free people who are just beginning their way.” . to his own identity: these are the main philosophical categories of this performance.”
The production was attended by such actors as Elizaveta Potapova, Nikita Kruglyak, Alina Iskhakova, Karina Pestova and others.

The exhibition “In Memoriam. Stopped Time” aims to be one of the most daring experiments of the Tretyakov Gallery in recent years. The key idea of the exhibition is the phenomenon of memory in its artistic interpretation.
The gallery’s Engineering Building will feature portraits of the greats, including Peter I, AS Pushkin, MA Vrubel, VI. Lenin, VV Mayakovsky and other central figures in Russian history. The key feature is the ability to compare the portrait to a person’s death mask.
The dispute over the role of the individual in history will probably never end, just like its twin brother: the dispute over the role of the individual in art. The new Tretyakov Gallery exhibition does not seek to provide answers, its significance lies in significant silence.

The Moscow Museum of Modern Art presents the first large-scale exhibition of art director and painter Andrei Dyudi Sarabyanov. At the exhibition, one can trace the formation of the creative style, the author’s style of Sarabyanov.
Severe northern landscapes, the geometry of residential buildings, the rich colors of Uzbekistan, a gallery of female portraits are only a small part of the kaleidoscope that Sarabyanov creates. The artist boldly changes techniques and styles, remaining faithful to the rich tradition of the Moscow school of painting.
