WHITE NIGHTS 2010

Summer In The City
The summer in St. Petersburg is a unique time of year — and not just because it is the name for the few months of the year when the sun peeps out from a grey shroud of clouds and it is possible to stay outside without getting chilled to the bone. This season offers a fantastic alternative for those who are used to seeing St. Petersburg through the window of a car or tourist bus. The summer is an opportunity to explore the city on foot, bike or boat.

A Local Treasure
St. Petersburg’s centuries-old Imperial Porcelain Factory is a unique national endowment. No other factory in Russia can boast its history, diverse artistic school and its range of production.

Cooking Up a Storm
St. Petersburg’s Comic Trust theater troupe has been branded extreme cabaret, black clownery, absurdist comedy and fl owing parody, all of which is true. Every performance is a melting pot of genres and arts: Take some pantomime, spice it up with a bit of farce, garnish with puppetry, add a touch of grotesque and wrap it up in avant garde... this theatrical fusion is an experience which tugs at multiple heartstrings at once. Audiences leave the show happy, shaken up and turned upside down.
