On Sunday, April 28 at 16:00, the RUSSIA EXPO will present the Platonov Festival. It has been held annually since 2011 in Voronezh, the birthplace of writer Andrei Platonov.

The festival brings together the brightest events and names of contemporary Russian and world culture. Today it is one of the best multicultural forums in Russia. It has become a point of attraction for artists from more than 55 countries. The festival events are annually attended by about 100 thousand spectators from different cities.

The Platonov Festival audience this year will see 19 shows of eight plays, seven concerts, a festival of street theaters, which will unite 10 groups, as well as a new format of Platonovfest - an audioplay-promenade based on the letters of Andrei Platonov to his wife Maria. There will be two expositions, six creative literary meetings, a book fair and a reading relay race. In 2024, the festival will mark a particularly important date - the 125th anniversary of Andrei Platonov's birth.

During the presentation of the festival, the Main Stage of the RUSSIA EXPO will also host the performance "How Tsar Peter Did Something Out There" at 18:00. This is a staging and art-historical research by Anna Shishkina.

In the center of the plot is Tsar Peter, who has become a part of popular culture. The fairy tale tinge of historical facts is given by a folktale in which the Tsar is not only a great sovereign, but also a witty, resourceful hero. He even manages to get the moon from the sky.

The performance will feature mobile sets, stilts, acrobatics, author's masks, rake-style narration and puppet theater.
