About this Event

Have you ever seen a puppet show made completely by hand?

Join us for Farhat and Shirin, a lively story based on the work of Alisher Navoi, one of Central Asia’s most beloved poets. Artist and storyteller Oleg Ovcharenko brings this classic tale to life using puppets he created himself.

Children and families will discover a new culture while exploring themes of kindness and courage. After the show, stay for a fun hands-on activity—create your own traditional Uzbek tubeteika!

A warm, creative experience for all ages.

This puppet show will be in English and Russian.


Вы когда-нибудь видели кукольный спектакль, где все сделано вручную?

Приглашаем вас на представление Фархад и Ширин. Это впечатляющая история, основанная на произведениях Алишера Навои, одного из самых любимых поэтов Центральной Азии. Художественный автор и рассказчик Олег Овчаренко оживляет эту классическую сказку с помощью кукол, которые он создал сам.

Дети и семьи смогут познакомиться с новой культурой, изучая темы доброты и мужества. После спектакля оставайтесь на увлекательное практическое занятие, на котором вы сможете создать собственную традиционную узбекскую тюбетейку!

Теплое и творческое мероприятие для посетителей всех возрастов.

Кукольный спектакль будет проходить на английском и русском языках.
