There are six venues in Moscow, where everyone will be able to watch bright light shows until September 27. The Ostankino TV Tower is one of the main participants in the project. She will have a whole series of amazing transformations, and you can see them even from a long distance.
The opening of the Circle of Light festival has already broken all records in terms of the amount of equipment - 200 fountains, 6 megawatts of power, dozens of projectors - and in terms of the number of spectators. About 250 thousand people gathered in Ostankino alone to watch the brightest performance of autumn.
Travel around the world - the great skyscrapers of the world in one place. The Ostankino Tower, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, momentarily turned into both the Eiffel Tower and Dubai's Burj Khalifa skyscraper. Toronto, Shanghai and Tokyo TV towers.
“Famous high-rise buildings, the great high-rise buildings of the world are uniting to once again remind people how beautiful our world is, how important it is to protect it, and what miracles nature has created,” says Vladimir Demekhin, director of the Ostankino site of the Circle of Light festival.
A fairy-tale world in which lavender fields bloom, the noise of Niagara Falls. The heat of the Sahara desert envelops the audience with bright fire, and the Fujiyama volcano fascinates with its power.
Ice and fire. Famous figure skaters Tatyana Navka and Pyotr Chernyshev, Alexander Smirnov and Yuko Kawaguchi are at the Ostankino Pond.
Fountains, burners, lighting fixtures. For a year, the organizers came up with a program, chose sites in Moscow, looked for the right amount of equipment that was brought to the capital from all over the country. Every detail matters.
“We have united a lot of people, more than a thousand people work here. We worked even harder in preparation for the festival. This is fireworks, this is water, these are lasers, this is a show,” says Elena Andreeva, coordinator of the Circle of Light Moscow International Festival.
"Circle of Light" - in various parts of Moscow. In Tsaritsyno, the Great Catherine Palace comes to life before the eyes of the audience. "Palace of Senses" is an open-air performance. The building, complex in architecture, moves, turns into abstract images, then into unusual figures.
On Theater Square, the facades of the Bolshoi and Maly theaters show the idea of "celestial mechanics", in which loneliness and love coexist.
For five days, Moscow turned into the capital of the world. The culmination of the opening ceremony is a grand fireworks display, a show not to be missed.
The brightest, fantastic moment that everyone was waiting for. Hundreds of lights seem to embrace the Ostankino TV tower. The spectacle is simply incredible. This is a must see!
