The game is back: from the world of Super Toys figurines to Anton Belyaev's show laboratory

Izvestia's choice

LAB with Anton Belyaev, 12+

The project of Therr Maitz frontman Anton Belyaev is a unique phenomenon on the Russian stage, where musical experience and powerful visual effect are combined. He dissects hits from different years down to the smallest detail and puts them together into something new and completely unexpected, which makes you feel cathartic.

Under his leadership, an orchestra and a choir are on stage, which rhythmically and synchronously reacts with their bodies to music. The star guests are with them. For example, in the past, Lolita and the young musician Casseta performed his viral track "I Can't Stop" to the thunder of strings, Zoloto performed a cover of "Cabriolet" by Uspenskaya, and the host of "Natal Map" Dmitry Zhuravlev performed "The River is Wide" by Kadysheva.

This time, Nike Borzov, Tatiana Bulanova, Room of Culture, AY YOLA, Yuri Loza and others are among the participants of the LAB. The visual solution of the show is based on the world's masterpieces of painting — it's better to see and hear all this yourself.

Music

Jason Derulo, 16+

During his last Moscow concert in September 2025, American Jason Derulo played our "Mother Earth" to Russian fans and confessed his warm feelings from the stage.: "Having moved so far away, I still feel at home." Then he promised to come back and kept his word. In the capital of Russia, the artist will complete his European tour, The Last Dance World Tour.

Remaining one of the trendsetters of world pop music in the 2010s, when his Wiggle, Take You Dancing and other hits were booming, he reminds with his visit that music is still able to unite people regardless of borders and circumstances.

"The Voice of the Native land", 6+

In the era of playlists and algorithms, chamber music remains one of the few genres that is truly revealed only live. On Russia Day, People's Artist Larisa Kostyuk and Professor of the Moscow Conservatory Ekaterina Skusnichenko will perform Tchaikovsky miniatures and Valery Gavrilin's vocal cycle "Evening". Julia Kupriyanova, a pianist with an international career, plays the piano. The goal is to have the opportunity to hear chamber music performed live and to take a fresh look at the Russian musical tradition - without academic distance and museum dust.

What to see

"Serf 3", 16+

One of the highest-grossing domestic projects, directed by Klim Shipenko, rethinks its plot attraction in new historical settings. After the re-education of the spoiled major Grisha, played by Milos Bikovich, and the arrogant daughter of an official, Katya, played by Aglaya Tarasova, the experimental therapy team embarks on a new mission: to correct the spouses who are distraught by absolute permissiveness. For this, the characters of Kristina Asmus and Pavel Priluchny will be sent to the era of Peter the Great's reforms.

From June 11 in the cinema

Ruslan and Lyudmila, 6+

The Pushkin Fairy tale will come to life on stage in the format of a ballet to the music of Mikhail Glinka, staged by Andrei Petrov. He combines recognizable images of Russian classics with choreographic spectacle, and presents history and fiction with gentle irony. As a result, the plot, which has survived for almost two centuries, finds a place in modern theater. The performance is accompanied by the Orpheus Radio Symphony Orchestra. The artistic director and chief conductor is Honored Artist of Russia Sergey Kondrashev.

June 12 at the Kremlin Ballet Theater

Exhibitions

«Super Toys. Summer season, 6+

The exhibition features more than one and a half collectible art toys from 60 authors from different countries. These are the key names of the global industry: KAWS, Takashi Murakami and Kasing Lung, the creator of Labubu, as well as Russian authors Vladue, Ivan Cross, Nidgus and others. New figures of Krosh, Nyusha, Kopatych and a couture collection inspired by the characters of Smesharikov will be shown for the first time in the collaboration hall.

Until September 30 at the recreation center "Kristall"

"Anya Acorn. The wrong horizon", 6+

The retrospective covers 25 years of practice of Anya Acorn, one of the key figures of Russian contemporary art, and is devoted to two subjects that make up an important part of her art: the house and the road, the world inside and the world outside. Paintings, objects and installations show the way from saturated "subject" works to an almost disappearing image, where only line and space remain. The house gives way to the road, the shape to emptiness. This is a story about how the gaze changes and the familiar horizon disappears, opening up a new way of seeing. The exhibition began a year after the artist's death.

Until August 23 at the AZART Contemporary Art Center

Where to go with the kids

"Summer of tomboys" in Peredelkino, 0+

On a long weekend in Peredelkino, children (no one forbids adults either) can go through the "tomboy summer checklist" - build a hut, come up with a secret language, jump into a puddle. There will be an interactive zone inspired by famous heroes of children's literature, where you can arrange an Indian game based on the "Red Chief", recall the absurd world of the fairy tale "Telephone" by Chukovsky, take tests in the spirit of Deniska Korablev and send a message to the legendary Schwambrania, a country that was once invented by the heroes of Peredelkin Lev Kassil.

From June 12 to June 14 in the House of Creativity Peredelkino
