The themes of the productions are never repeated - every year they are different. The basis for what is happening directors take fairy tales or original scripts specially written for the holidays.
Their main characters are children, whom faith helps to overcome difficulties, believe in miracles, travel through time and learn a lot about the birth of Jesus Christ, the baptism of Russia, and other important events in the life of Orthodox Christians. The information is entertaining, in a simple and understandable way - so that small viewers do not get bored. The atmosphere is created by scenery, lighting effects, 3D projections, music and dance numbers included in the program.
The Christmas tale lasts about 1 hour without intermission. There are no age restrictions: viewers from 6 years old can visit the tree without parents, animators will look after them, and at the end of the holiday, they will pass it on to adults waiting at the entrance.

Why do I need to see the performance?
Every year the event is organized at a high level: a lot of attention is paid to the script, special effects, and technical equipment. Scriptwriters think through each phrase in the text, and the actors during rehearsals tend to feel the characters of the heroes, their motives and actions. As a result, viewers with genuine interest observe the development of events, trust the actors.
The second point is the involvement of the audience in the production. Young viewers help the heroes, prompt, guide. Elements of interactivity turn viewers into direct participants in what is happening.
The cognitive component is no less important. After the performance, preschoolers and schoolchildren learn more about Christmas traditions, compassion, friendship, responsiveness, mutual assistance and other character traits necessary for the formation of a harmonious personality. At the same time, there is no obvious religious bias in the tale - the emphasis is on the magic and miracles with which the New Year and Christmas are associated.
