In Moscow, the project "Octopus" staged by the famous choreographer from France Philippe Decoufle, in the theater. The Moscow Council opens a screening of the program of the festival "NET", the new European theater. The word “project” in relation to the performance “Octopus” sounds because it represents a new theatrical form in which music and dance, singing and digital technologies are organically combined. Philippe Decoufle is known not only for staging theatrical works, but also for creating grandiose world-class show projects.

The basis of the festival, dedicated to the experimental theater, will be the performances of theaters from Germany, since the year of cooperation between the two countries has not yet been completed. Most of all, the audience is waiting for the arrival of Katie Mitchell, whose name is well known among European theatergoers. On the stage, located in the Kuzminki House of Arts, her work with German actors will be shown - the play “Christina” based on the play by August Strindberg.

Finally, the performance “Improvisation”, staged by the choreography master Sasha Waltz in his theater “Sasha Waltz and Guests”, reached Russia. The premiere of the performance was back in 2004, but our viewers will be able to see the world-famous performance only now, as part of the festival. "Improvisation" was the first production of Sasha Waltz, where she used classical music. Schubert’s works sound in it.

The Bulgarian theater will display at the festival the performance of the "Overcoat", in which the theater, puppets and the circus are connected, complete the life of the sensational stage play. The Russian part of the festival shows will be presented by four performances, among which one will be the one staged by Kirill Serebrennikov, the first performance of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. The schedule for the NET festival is tight, theater-goers will not be easy to make a choice.
