“Kostroma” to showcase Russian dance art in international BRICS project

On September 15, the Moscow State Academic Theatre "Russkaya Pesnya" will host a concert as part of Global Dance Overture, an international cultural and educational project implemented across the BRICS nations.

The project is supported by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Russian Ministry of Culture, the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives, Rossotrudnichestvo, and the Ministries of Culture of the participating countries. The initiative was officially launched in October 2024 during the BRICS Summit in Kazan.

Earlier this year, in February, the Russian National Dance Show “Kostroma” successfully presented the Global Dance Overture in three cities of the United Arab Emirates—Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah—and in June, performed in the capital of Egypt, with creative events timed to coincide with Russia Day celebrations.

At Russia’s initiative during its BRICS Chairship last year, the institutionalisation of cultural cooperation was advanced: participants of the X St. Petersburg International United Cultures Forum—representatives of the Ministries of Culture of Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Iran, South Africa, and the UAE—agreed to establish the Alliance of BRICS Folk Dance.
