Dance performance "Four Points of Reference" in the Zotov space

The dance performance "Four Points of Reference" will be presented at the Context festival, created specifically for the Zotov center with the participation of Diana Vishneva and the Saga architectural bureau. In their work, the authors strive to draw parallels between constructivist architecture and contemporary choreography. Frank Zappa once remarked that discussing music can be compared to dancing about architecture. The project's curators see nothing negative in this and are confident that both are of great importance.
