📷 birthday of the city

August 2018 · 2 min read · Kostroma

All week in the historical center there is noise and fuss. At a fountain the townspeople have established a scene.

Do you write poetry? Maybe prose? .. Maybe you play the guitar or sing? Or maybe you just want to read poetry of your favorite poet? Please, this scene is for you.

Festival "Breath of the city" is held without excessive pathos, in a cozy chamber atmosphere. The facilitator offers anyone a "free microphone".

Here is some infernal girl mournfully reading poetry about the corridor tunnel and loneliness at the monitor. But the other, frustrated with excitement, reads the lines of his favorite poet

The girl is replaced by a young hip poet. He is only sixteen years old, but he already composed a fable "bear and orange". A young fabulist is replaced by a seasoned one. The announcer asks for applause, explaining that the poet is very famous in narrow circles. At first, the guru scribbles something frightening in content and rhyme about Syberia. Then calms a few public fables about the frog and her husband. At the end of the fable sounds the moral: "Who hides the ass in the mud, he will be happy only in half."
The audience, though not numerous, is very complacent. Narratively famous in wide circles of fabulist accompanied by applause, as indeed all the others ...

Someone listens to fables, and someone is addicted to board games. Do not try to understand the rules of the game. They are vague and complex as a Chinese charter.

Have you tried linocut? What is it? - you ask me. And I'll explain it to you. This is when you cut out the form on the linoleum cutter, with which then you will make prints on paper. Children with such enthusiasm carry with incisors and paints, which I also really want to try.

Suddenly from the stage your hearing is suddenly attacked by something like ultrasound. This young generation is testing itself in the field of audio aggression.
