HAUTE DOG
The concept of the event is based on a combination of opposing phenomena: the ceremonialism of social gatherings meets the mass entertainment industry, the refined aesthetics of haute cuisine meets the simple, colorful codes of street food. High and low in culture are almost always intertwined: what is considered a privileged aspect of the chosen few is gradually transformed and made accessible to the masses, while the counterculture often penetrates the upper classes and becomes an exceptional detail, a gimmick, a rediscovered luxury item.

INTIMATE LYRICS
An unusual dinner on the outskirts of Moscow and history. Vasily Aksyonov's house, lost in the forests of the writers' village of Peredelkino. Here great works were created and denunciations were made. The literary struggle for the exact succinct word was conducted under the watchful eye of the KGB and applicants for state dachas. It was in such conditions that both the subtle, personal, hidden soul of a true poet and the conformist officialism of the ruling course were revealed.
