This is a popular holiday that is celebrated not only in the United States of America, but also in Europe. At its core, Mardi Gras is somewhat reminiscent of Russian Maslenitsa, but it is in New Orleans that it is celebrated in more than chic fashion. The Mardi Gras festival here turns into a grandiose carnival procession with colorful costumes and noisy festivities. The most interesting event The holiday is the Bacchus Parade, which consists of several floats, each of which depicts one of the vicious entertainments in fantastic costumes. The most vibrant performances take place on Charles Avenue and the Garden District.

This is one of the most famous festivals in the world, which is watched every year by millions of people on our planet. The Brazilian Carnival, which takes place before the start of Lent, is celebrated throughout the country on a grand scale, but the most enchanting performance can be seen in Rio de Janeiro. The symbol of the country and the carnival is fiery dance samba, which absolutely all residents of Brazil can dance. The holiday is accompanied by rhythmic music, national songs, a huge number of beautiful girls in open suits with bright feathers and the most unpredictable entertainment shows. The festival takes place through the streets of the city for 5 days, during which all residents of the country are freed from work and are completely transported into the cheerful atmosphere of the great holiday.

Every year on April 30, Amsterdam celebrates the Coronation Day of the reigning Queen Beatrix, as well as the birthday and remembrance of Queen Mother Juliana. This event lasts exactly one day throughout Holland, but the most significant events take place in Amsterdam. The festival begins at the royal palace and moves throughout the city with a huge orchestra, traveling attractions and theatrical performances. The brightest symbol of the holiday is the parade of flowers, marching from the city of Aalsmeer to Amsterdam. On this significant day, numerous shops and markets with souvenirs, flowers and other goods open on all the streets of the city, luring tourists with good discounts and bright slogans. Everyone in the country wears costumes orange flowers and drink national drinks to the health of everyone’s beloved queen.

Camel Festival in Bikaner

This is a very unusual holiday in the Indian state of Rajestan, which is celebrated annually in early January and lasts three days. The festival features a camel parade with beauty contests, dances and exotic shows. On these same days you can see a camel race through the desert dunes of the surrounding area, and it all ends with a fire show and an impressive fireworks display on the last night of the holiday. Most of all, the camel festival is notable for the special haircuts of the animals, which are made in the form of real works of art and unreal paintings. For the sake of such a spectacle, these days not only residents of nearby countries and cities come here, but also foreign tourists who want to see with their own eyes the true art of camel hairdressers. This bright event accompanied by beautiful Indian dances and songs that we see so often in movies.

This is another famous, but no less exotic holiday held in Japan. The name of the festival translates as “iron penis,” which actually fully reflects the essence of the celebration. The people of Japan proclaim this day as a holiday of fertility and childbirth. The festival procession begins in the temple of the city of Kawasaki, which served as a place of prayer for prostitutes asking for protection from various diseases related in one way or another to their work. The Kanamara Matsuri festival lasts for seven whole days, during which a huge variety of sculptures of the male genital organ are carried around the city. different sizes and flowers, and also sell all kinds of souvenirs on this topic. The most significant procession of multi-colored phalluses takes place on the last day of the festival, which ends the celebration of this object.

This is a spectacular festival in Spain, celebrated in the Catalan town of Tarragona, near Barcelona. The festival takes place twice a year and is a massive show of living sculptures. Many people call this holiday in their own way: some consider it a kind of sport, others think it is art, and still others consider it entertainment. They are all right in some way, but they are also all fascinated by the human pyramids being built, trying to surpass the opposing teams and build the tallest human sculpture. In honor of this ancient Spanish tradition, a statue of the human towers-castells in Barcelona was built, which is today an attractive attraction of the resort. All spectators watch with bated breath the figures of the living towers under construction and sincerely rejoice at its successful completion. Often the final “pieces” of a tower are the children who complete the entire structure. The whole process is accompanied by a certain musical composition, and spectators evaluate the height of the structure and award a prize to the most daring teams.

This is a unique festival of pain, which is celebrated annually in one of the Indian cities of Parani. This ancient custom, which allows Hindus to receive the blessings of the gods. This festival is dedicated to the god of war, to whom, according to tradition, the spear that killed the powerful demon is handed over. All festival participants inflict pain on themselves by piercing their cheeks, tongue, back skin and other means in order to attach to themselves special hooks with ropes, at the end of which heavy weights are tied. It is them that the residents of Parani are trying to move, trying to inflict as much pain on themselves as possible. This holiday is celebrated in January or February every year. A massive celebration takes place here traditional festival when several thousand Hindus dance sacred dance kavadi. Such a spectacle looks terrifying and cruel, so not all tourists can bear to watch the performance of true Hindus.

Tomatina is the favorite holiday of all Spaniards, held in last week August in honor of the passing summer. Like all Spanish festivals, Tomatina is accompanied by active musical rhythms, dancing, fireworks, national treats and other entertainment. However, the most important event of the holiday is considered to be the tomato massacre, which is held in the town square of the city of Buñol. Every year at this time thousands of travelers come here to take part in a grandiose battle, for which more than one hundred tons of tomato shells are used. The only condition in such fights without rules is to avoid injuries, for which each tomato needs to be mashed.

Translated from Sanskrit, the name of the festival sounds like Fiery Bunch. The holiday symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and lasts five days. Each region of India celebrates Diwali differently. In most cases, the festival is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, for whom fires are lit everywhere, offerings of coins are prepared in a glass of milk, windows are opened at night and her blessings are awaited. In other cities, Indians anoint themselves coconut oil to cleanse themselves of sins, they also perform national prayers in front of images of the goddess Kali and lower them into the waters of rivers and reservoirs. But in each of these corners of the country, all the streets are lit up with bright lights and fireworks, people dress up in their best saris and suits, and houses are transformed into dazzling works of art, decorated with colorful floral bouquets and elements.

Although the name of the festival suggests a sad event, in fact the holiday is noisy entertainment events and warm family picnics. This festival is celebrated everywhere in early November. At this time, Mexicans remember deceased relatives and allow them to return to their family for a short time. To achieve this, residents of the country decorate local cemeteries with bright flowers and have picnics here, communicating with people who have passed on to another world. The next day, various processions are held, people decorate their faces unusual drawings and masks in the form of skulls, and also dance, sing and have fun. But in some cities in Mexico you can also find gloomy funeral processions that once again say goodbye to the dead and release them to a better world.

Every year on the last day of June a colorful body art festival is held, where thousands come foreign tourists from all over the world. A similar holiday has been celebrated since 1998 and every year makes an indelible impression on viewers. Anyone can become a model for the artists gathered here. The festival takes place against the backdrop of the stunning nature of the Alpine villages of Austria, picturesque mountains and the fabulous beauty of lakes. At the end of each day there is a luxurious procession of painted models along a special catwalk.

But it’s difficult to name a specific person with whom I would like to attend a master class. However, it would be interesting to listen and talk with the stage masters.

Children's Soligorsk School of Arts, Kotsuba Olga Vasilievna.

- We came from Belarus, Minsk region, the city of Soligorsk. We present the Children's Soligorsk School of Arts - the only art school in our small town. By the way, this is the same city that provides us all with salt. This is us - the city of Soligorsk.

- What did you especially like about the festival-competition? Were there any memorable or “disastrous” performances? Did you gain something new for yourself, did you learn something?

- Yes, I liked the insane number of performances. We met many groups. We found new acquaintances. It seemed to us that there was some special creative, comfortable, cozy and pleasant atmosphere here. The presence of a beautiful hall only brightened our performance.

-Would you like to visit the festival-competition “The Whole World is Art”?

- Yes with pleasure. We only have the most best impressions from organizing this event. We will look forward to the next festival, but we will not refuse other offers. We will consider new options with great interest.

- What do you think about the master classes? Would you like to participate? If so, who should lead it?

- Undoubtedly, it would be an interesting experience. I would like to attend a master class of some teacher who works with children. Not seasoned actors, but the same teachers from art schools and creative houses. Perhaps some theatre studio or a studio at the Moscow Art Theater, some specialized schools.
