In October, we are launching a series of creative meetings for children inspired by the BARSAKELMES project.

Through games, myths, and working with natural materials, children will explore culture and create their own stories. Each meeting will be an immersion into the legend of snakes and dragons, where tactile sensations, sounds, images, and imagination intertwine and help children experience the story for themselves.

Class schedule:

October 4, Saturday (3:00-4:30 p.m.) — Class “The Legend of Nurtole”: we pack our backpacks to go on a journey to the island that people say “once you leave, you will never return.”

October 12, Sunday (3:00-4:30 p.m.) — “Snake Control Instruments” class: we explore silence and sound and invent our own musical instrument for the orchestra.

October 18, Sunday (3:00-4:30 p.m.) — Class “Salt Deserts”: we will find traces of extinct creatures in a tactile game with salt.

October 25, Sunday (3:00-4:30 p.m.) — Class “Guardians of the Island”: we will create spirits to protect us and perform a ritual of good wishes.

You can join on any day. The cost of a single class is 5,000 tenge. The cost of a package of four classes is 16,000 tenge. Tickets can be purchased via the link.
