What artistic techniques were used at the Alina-2025 festival? Ivan Rudnev tells us

The artist Ivan Rudnev spoke about the idea of the productions for the Alina-2025 festival.
"This year we have more of a metaphorical task. That is, we are figuratively talking about the complicated events that took place during the Great Patriotic War. We have a metaphorical theme that something seems to have split apart, but throughout the entire action we gather all this into a single image," Ivan said.
He shared how the visual dramaturgy of the festival was put together.
"Each performance has a theme of some event, about children-heroes. Each performance is preceded by such animated transitions, as part of which we first declare who the heroes are, and then we develop this story metaphorically on the floor with the help of our wonderful children. It is noticeable that the festival is growing. From year to year the festival becomes brighter, more and more large-scale, more and more interesting," he said.
In addition to participating in the Alina festival, Ivan Rudnev was also an artist at the international Sky Grace tournament in Beijing, representing Russia.
