In the modern world, in the period of high technology, people have become one. Of course, this is the positive side of globalization, but do not forget your roots. Each nationality has its own cultural heritage in the form of traditional dishes, music, language, clothing and other attributes. The Moscow State Historical and Ethnographic Theater will help preserve the heritage of Russian culture and pass it on to future generations.
A bit about the theater itself
In 1988, a unique Ethnographic Theater, which takes care of the Russian cultural heritage, was created. He was distinguished from all others by his bright and amazing color, which won the hearts of the audience. The founders of the theater were young actors who had just graduated from the M. S. Shchepkin Theater School. He headed the young acting troupe directed by Mikhail Mizyukov.
Within the walls of the Historical and Ethnographic Theater, talented artists were able to combine ancient song polyphony and acting, professional directorial work and folk drama, colorful costumes and ancient Russian musical instruments.
In addition to theatrical art, the Moscow Ethnographic Theater is actively engaged in musical activities. After all, Russian folk music is the bright sounds of nature, saturated with the most sensual emotions. In 2002 and 2003, the State Ethnographic Theater released two CDs dedicated to the colorful Russian folklore.
How can I find a piece of Russian culture in Moscow? The ethnographic theater on Losinka is located at Rudnevaya street, house 3. The nearest metro station, which is nearby, is the Babushkinskaya and Sviblovo stations.
Repertoire
The Ethnographic Theater has divided its target audience into adults and children.
For young viewers, the theater created a list of performances based on Russian fairy tales. Children will get acquainted with such productions as "The Tale of Ivan Tsarevich, the Firebird and the Gray Wolf", "Go there - I don’t know where, bring that - I don’t know what", "Marya - Morevna and Koschey the Immortal" and other performances that will immerse the audience in a colorful Russian flavor.

Such actors are Kolygo D.N., Vasiliev S.A., Mikheeva N.Yu., Stam I.M., Chudetsky A.E. .

Positive reviews
On the Internet you can find a large number of good reviews from viewers. Fortunately, they are several times more than negative. Both adults and young theatergoers show their enthusiasm for the acting, how exactly each artist transforms into his role without any particular difficulties. All this suggests that professionals in their field are entering the scene. The scenery helps to penetrate the history and become a part of it. The costumes of the artists are distinguished by their brightness and originality, thought out to the smallest detail, thereby reminding the viewer of the colorfulness of Russian culture.
Also, theatergoers really like the hall, decorated with wood. This interior detail is dipped in ancient times, when people still lived in wooden huts with a terrific smell of porridge and a fresh log house.
Negative reviews
Unfortunately, you can find bad reviews about the Ethnographic Theater, but it is worth emphasizing that there are not enough of them.
Dissatisfied spectators complain about the endless lines in the wardrobe, men's and women's rooms, at the moment of entering the hall before the start of the performance and at the end.
Also, the audience is outraged by the delay in the start of the production, which is especially negative for young spectators who are starting to get nervous.
Another frequently mentioned negative side is inappropriate special effects in the form of various sounds that scare young art lovers.
Despite the fact that the repertoire of the Moscow Ethnographic Theater is updated almost every three months, viewers note that the list of performances is quite poor.
