What happens when you mix Chekhov, foreign students, and a dash of theatrical madness? 🤔

Our budding actors received a seemingly simple task: read "The Seagull" by Chekhov and create a frozen scene capturing the essence of the play.

But who said geniuses think inside the box? Here's what unfolded:

🪑Barricades made of chairs (A revolution in theatre? Why not!)

🌳Expeditions through the garden (Searching for that seagull, perhaps?)

🧘Living sculptures made of bodies (Chekhov would approve... probably)

Let's be honest: we didn't expect THIS level of imagination!

We'll show you some of the scenes our students came up with.

A Day at PhosAgro: What Our Fellows Learned About Russian Farming 🌍

Our InteRussia agrobiotechnology fellows just got a glimpse into the heart of Russia's agricultural powerhouse — PhosAgro!

As Europe's largest producer of phosphate-based fertilizers and the world's top manufacturer of high-grade phosphate rock, PhosAgro produces over 50 types of mineral fertilizers, powering farms across 102 countries. Their eco-friendly products help feed nearly half the world's population, making PhosAgro Russia's number one fertilizer exporter and a pioneer in solutions tackling climate change and environmental challenges.

They explored PhosAgro's state-of-the-art educational center at the Russian State Agrarian University. Here's what they experienced:

🌱 Attended eye-opening lectures on agricultural innovations and digital farming

🌱 Learned about PhosAgro's eco-solutions for a changing climate

🌱 Participated in a hands-on workshop on wheat quality assessment

🌱 Toured the university's historic park and soil-agronomic museum

From soil to table, our fellows have seen firsthand how Russian innovation is revolutionizing global agriculture. The next time you bite into a juicy tomato or savor a slice of bread, you might be tasting the fruits of Russian agro-science!

Beyond the Stage: InterRussia Theatre Fellows Explore Mosfilm 🎬

Not by theatre alone! While our InterRussia theatre fellows are well-versed in the world of stage performances, they recently broadened their horizons with a foray into the realm of cinema. Their destination? None other than the legendary Mosfilm studios.

Mosfilm, the cornerstone of Russian cinema since 1924, has been the birthplace of over 2,500 films, many of which have earned international acclaim. Now it is one of the largest studios in Europe.

Their Mosfilm adventure included:

📚A journey through time at the Mosfilm Museum, where they delved into the studio's history

🚘An encounter with mechanical stars — a collection of retro cars that have played supporting roles in films

😱A spine-tingling exploration of the exhibition dedicated to "Viy," the first USSR's first horror film

📸A stroll through crafted sets replicating historical St. Petersburg and Moscow

The young actors left feeling enriched, ready to bring their own stories to the world stage (or at least to the stage of GITIS for now)!
