“

«Falling into childhood is wonderful, especially if you fell out of it at some point» — as it is written on the Chateau Сhapiteau website — we take it as a guide to action!

We will fall into childhood, communicate and create under the guidance of Maxim Didenko, Sergey Ovseykin, Vladimir Varnava and Roma Liberov. The bright culmination of the theatrical and artistic workshop will be the mystery «Born to Be Alive», where we will talk about life and death, about love and family, about friendship. Participants in the performance will become actors, artists, dancers and poets for a while.

With love, the Art Station team

Accommodation

If you are not yet familiar with Ivan Mitin's project Chateau Сhapiteau, known in Russia as the creator of the anti-cafe format and the developer of the projects Bolotov Dacha and Bolotov Village, we will be happy to introduce you to him.

It is here, in this amazing kingdom, as the ideological inspirers of the project call it, located in the mountains of Kakheti in Georgia, that our summer theater and art workshop will take place. It seems difficult to imagine a better place for realizing the most daring creative fantasies under the guidance of experienced performance masters.

It is difficult to express the nature of the Chateau Сhapiteau project in words. For someone, it is a dream of a utopian self-governing society, for someone - a rural house with a simple way of life and like-minded neighbors, for someone - a way to escape reality, even if only for a while. This is a place where you can find your meanings, whatever they may be. The Chateau Сhapiteau community is a fairy tale based on real events about a dream and freedom in which you really want to believe and at least briefly become a part of it. This is what we will try to do this summer.
