The unique event takes place in Moscow from February 25 to March 6, 2021. “Women’s Business” is the world’s first exhibition of jewelers and designers, in which exclusively representatives of the fair half of humanity take part.
The exhibition will be hosted by the chamber gallery Ilgiz F. Here you can get acquainted with the works of the participants - in total, 20 representatives of the industry are involved in the project. The products are made both by hand and using the latest technologies. Styles and trends are also very different - from natural minimalism to architectural gothic.
Subtle flair, attention to detail and out-of-the-box thinking help create truly beautiful jewelry. The exhibition will provide visitors with answers to questions about how women see the jewelry world, and why every year this profession is becoming less and less masculine. More than a week will be given to appreciate the work. The opening of the exhibition on February 25 is held in a closed format, but the very next day the doors of the cozy gallery will open to everyone. Admission is free, and you can order a pass by calling +79639931575 .
New places
The Macallan Winter Bar at the O2 Lounge
Terraces have long ceased to be exclusively a summer thing. Recently, The Macallan winter bar opened in the O2 Lounge restaurant on the roof of The Ritz-Carlton hotel. The space was decorated with a neon installation created by artist and founder of Midsummer Night's Dream Margot Trushina. The theme of her work is called Posthuman - High Tea, and it represents glowing abstract human figures floating in the space of a glass bar. You can drink a cocktail with a view of the Kremlin here until April 2019.
Vnukovo Airport Bar at DoubleTree by Hilton Moscow
Those who end this week with a long weekend trip can celebrate the beginning of the weekend in the new panoramic bar SkyLounge Vnukovo.

MOVIE
"Tom and Jerry"
One of the most popular cartoons of the last century is back on screens. Director Tim Sawtry decided to bring back his favorite characters. Tom and Jerry have lost their home and are now forced to look for a new shelter. Without hesitation, Jerry checks into the best hotel in New York, where 4 presidents, 3 popes, 2 kings stayed, and soon the wedding of the century will take place there. The presence of an unwanted guest, of course, strains the hotel management. Therefore, a newly hired employee (Chloe Moretz) is tasked with getting rid of the annoying rodent. She chooses the old proven method - calling the cat, in our case Tom. Well, then everything follows the well-known scenario - the cat is looking for hundreds of ways to get rid of the mouse, and he cunningly evades all the traps.
The film can be classified as a family film, as adults will remember the old days and their favorite characters, and children will be drawn in by the fascinating and funny confrontation of the main characters.
"Dad"
I would like to say that this is a light Russian comedy, but this film is more reminiscent of a tragic story with notes of sarcasm. Perhaps someone will recognize themselves in her, so the director advises going to the film with your father or, conversely, with your son. Successful Muscovite Max (Stas Starovoitov) spends days on end at work, without seeing his wife (Nadezhda Mikhalkova) and two children. Everything changes with an unexpected trip to Bata - a real stern man who raised his child in the dashing 90s. Times were not easy then, and the education system of Soviet people was significantly different from the ideal... The main question that is raised in the film is what does it mean to be a good father?
Special screenings from Moskino
The “Berlinale Week” is in full swing at the Moschino Fakel cinema, which includes amazing films awarded with prizes at the Berlin Film Festival.
On February 27 at 18:30 they will show the film “About Body and Soul” - a bizarre love story of two completely different people who are united by the same dreams about a wonderful world and by no means romantic work at a meat processing plant.

THEATER

Performance "Reverse"
The idea of the production is the story of a person’s internal and external struggle in all its most beautiful and terrible manifestations. Directors Andrei Koltsov and Irina Drozhzhina, together with choreographer Debra Brown (Canada), created a super-saturated dynamic performance that does not fit into the framework of any existing theatrical genre. We bet you've never been to a theater where actors soar above the audience, perform tons of extreme stunts, and tell a dramatic story at the same time. What else can you expect from directors originally from Cirque du Soleil? Only extravaganza!

Performance “I found a scythe on a stone”
Sergei Bezrukov suggests thinking about eternally pressing questions: how to remain honest in a world where money rules, how to succeed in business in an honest way, can love between an ardent heart and a sound mind survive? Three works by Alexander Ostrovsky will help you find the answers.
According to the plot, in the buzzing Moscow society, interested only in how to have fun, a strange character appears - Savva Vasilkov. A naive provincial, apparently with money and a terrible opponent of any fraud, fell in love with the first beauty of the city, Lydia Cheboksarova. How great is the temptation to deceive such a simpleton...

The last day of winter is a great occasion to remember the bustle of the New Year holidays and laugh at them, for example, in the theater.

On the eve of the New Year, Nastya is trying to prepare a matinee and learn the necessary songs with the children, build a slide and organize the purchase of gifts, not go crazy from the constantly exploding parental chats, and somehow arrange her personal life. This simple and familiar story is about the daily feat of a little man with a huge heart.
The role of teacher Nastya will be played by Yulia Kuvarzina, known to many for her leading roles in Russian TV series. Like many other heroines of Kuvarzina, Nastya is emotional, lively and truly human, and therefore the audience in the hall worries along with her. Age limit 16+

Performance “The Cherry Orchard”
Photo: mossoveta.ru
The famous play by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov on the stage of the Mossoveta Theater. In this theater, director Andrei Konchalovsky staged three of the writer’s main plays. It would also be good to watch them all together, because they are united not only by the director’s through-line thought, but also by a single stage space.
Andrei Sergeevich believes that it was “The Cherry Orchard” that ended the great work of Anton Pavlovich. He wrote it, being already terminally ill and knowing what awaited him, he created a comedy. The comedy, of course, turned out to be unique. By the way, this performance is very well deserved. It was awarded a lot of awards; the leading actors, Yulia Vysotskaya and Alexander Domogarov, also received awards.

The photographs presented at this exhibition were taken in his hometown in 1983-1984, when the author himself was still young. He scrupulously records the usual Soviet life on the threshold of very big changes. In the photographs you can already feel the latent expectation and the feeling of impending emptiness.
Strinadko’s photographs are not staged; in addition, he refuses all kinds of manipulations to improve the photographs, and, by the way, he still shoots with film cameras.
