The first Christmas Stories were played in Moscow Parks in 2013 during the New Year’s season. They were three short stories based on traditions from different countries. All of the stories are interactive - suggesting the children to be the one who is going to fix the problem and to help the main character. The stories are original, created only for this production. They are told and played by three actors.
Since the year 2014 Christmas stories have been created and played in collaboration with the artistic center “Sreda”. It is the same frame every year: gathering around the Christmas Tree, creating the stars for the night sky all together, opening the suitcases with the stories and collecting presents and candies from the stories, visiting Santa Claus, drinking cacao and eating Christmas cake. And every year the audience can see three new stories from three different countries.
For the year 2022 we have 5 series of stories which makes 15 original Christmas stories about people, magic creatures and traditions from different countries (including Estonia, Italy, Iceland, Scotland, Cermany, Isle of Man, Denmark and etc.)
