Steampunk in Russia

[morozow]

The administration of the Sverdlovsk Governor decided to spend new year holidays in the style of steampunk (steampunk — the direction of science fiction, inspired by the steam energy of the XIX century). In this regard, the residence of the head of the region was embellished with gears, keys, images, complex arrangements and hours. All this is done in preparation for the start of the annual Governor's Christmas trees Monday, December 25. Disassemble holiday decorations only to the end of the Christmas holidays, January 8.

Children's Christmas tree at the residence conducted since 1995, the reason for the styling in this vein, explained the Vice-Governor Pavel Krekov: "the Christmas tree at the Governor's residence is a good tradition. And every time we are preparing for them, we think, than to please you and surprise you. This year's performance is dedicated to ecology and preservation of our nature. I hope that when you will grow, learn and work, you will always remember that you need to protect the planet on which we live."

Baby Christmas holidays in the residence of the Sverdlovsk Governor have been conducted since 1995 since its opening. They are traditionally invited children from large families, orphanages, winners of creative contests and Olympiads.

TV report from the exhibition "Steampunk," or a Parallel reality" in St. Petersburg

The exhibition's title is a pun. In Russian, a "parallel reality" - PAR (steam)

https://topspb.tv/news/2018/01/11/stimpank-puteshestvie-v-parallelnuyu-realnost/

HELEN WILD,curator of the Steampunk, or Parallel reality":

"For example, a wonderful art object, "Time to smile" well-known St. Petersburg artist Viktor Grigoriev. It somewhere 15 years. The exhibition presents work that for 30 years. Most artists don't even know what steampunk are: head, fantasies, and books." The laboratory of the alchemist, the mysterious workshops, a horror area. The exhibition is simultaneously a kind of quest and the basis for thematic hapenning. Concerts, master classes and night of steampunk will be transferred in a parallel reality.
In the nearest plans of St. Petersburg steampunkers humanistic action: to create a huge heart made of old machinery. To evaluate a symbol of love, gears and other clangorous the miracle technology can be up to 23 March.

As is known to all, without exception, St Petersburg, spring in our Northern latitudes is no warmer autumn, and sometimes winter can compete with the amount of snow. In the cold and dank days of St. Petersburg spring we want warm company, gatherings by the fire and good leisure.

In order not to succumb to seasonal depression and not to freeze completely, we suggest you to gather on March 24, 2018 in the club "Boiler room" for Steampunk party 2018 (March)!

And again you are waiting for the historical dance to steampunk music (we will choose the best of the programs of the past and, quite possibly, add something new), live music and rooms from Steampunk-project 99 and our other friends.

This time we will not have the ball and colabella party, but just loved the dance in the atmospheric "Boiler" under the least favorite steampunk music. This means that how ever would be appropriate goggle, work suits, stained shirts in the workshop and other elements of the costume of ordinary working people.

We offer to dream over the image of a mechanic or engineer, factory worker or newspaper man, a fireman or adventurer, a pilot or a driver - images and options are incredibly many

The buffet this time will not be, but the club "Boiler" offers to use their bar and snacks (prices for acquaintance will try to place in advance), which will make our evening even hotter.  The floor in the club is the most common, so a change of shoes is required.

Schemes of the dances we read and to show (and to remember! ) on the spot.

It's not quite Russia. But very near. Transnistria.

Phantasmagoria in steampunk style "Dragon". This production based on the work of Soviet playwright Eugene Schwartz will be presented to the audience by the experimental theater. Unusual decorations, costumes, body art and puppets. As all this is combined in one production, learned Katerina Voronchenko.

"Dragon", which will present in Bender, extremely laconic. Just an hour for the whole production. But during this time the viewer will experience an incredible kaleidoscope of emotions.

— It is in accordance with your sketch and outfit picks us images. She every detail itself makes…

The work of the Soviet playwright Eugene Schwartz was written during the second world war. Speaking categorically against fascism, the writer dressed him in the form of a hideous dragon that can transform into completely different images.

Masha Kovaleva, Director of the Experimental theatre Association of puppet and body art studios: "we are playing the Play for the fourth time. Come and parents with children. Five years and seven. Those rejoice cheerful pictures, and adults understand the deep meaning of this play."

What is usually shown, adhering strictly to Schwartz, is quite different from setting Bender Studio. Here is an incredible mix of circus performance, "Mad max" with his post apocalyptic entourage and fairy tales about the Princess. All together gives a special message from the Director.

Actors promised surprise anyone plastic game and fantastic suits. Create the illusion of reality that captures the viewer instantly.

- I wonder what the guys are doing on their own. Looking for material for costumes and masks. Very creepy sometimes.

Sergey Kiselev, actor: "My hero, I have three images, represents the entire system in which we live. A system where we think we're free people. The system in which we work, and we think that we like this work."

Historical dance Studio held in Murmansk steampunk ball. The event gathered thirty gentlemen and ladies who plunged into a mysterious and festive atmosphere.

Anastasia Tsvetkova, the organizer of the ball: "the Main action is dancing, that is, we will communicate in dance, dance, dance. During the breaks we have planned a game library, a small buffet table, photo zone, even a small show of face-art, as much as anything, but the main action - historical dances."

Steampunk ball had his own scenario, according to which all the guests were participants in the experiment to develop positive emotions in the dance. And such a theme was chosen not by chance.

Anastasia Tsvetkova, the organizer of the ball: "This is a beautiful picture, interesting costumes, this is the direction of Victorian England, which developed along the way of mechanization."

To get to the ball was only by appointment, and to be trained to know in advance all the dance moves and complex combinations.

Alexey Kapralov, a participant of the ball: "there is such a movement in historical dances, after which they will say,' Oh, Yes!"? Well, yeah. This magnificent dress will give it the atmosphere of a historical dance, dress coats gentlemen, this is Sam here steampunk, it's something new, in my opinion."

In costume parties was almost unlimited, had to comply with only one rule for the girls.

Anastasia Kukoleva, the organizer of the ball: "in principle, everything can be done, but the only thing we have done is to limit the ball - a skirt that she was long especially for the girl."

All new-well forgotten old. And who knows, maybe soon the clubs will dance just such dances.

About the photographer and artist, hiding under the nickname LLen29, almost nothing is known, only that she was born in 1980 in Kaliningrad. But, despite the mask of incognito (or maybe because of it), she is doing just stunning work in the genre of photo manipulation: there are so densely and subtly interwoven photography and painting, reality and fantasy, that at first sight you will not define what genre they belong to.
