Leading dancers of the Russian Ballet performed a composition dedicated to Michelangelo Buonarroti to music by Tigran Jager

The Nikolai Durasov Palace 18th–19th centuries at the Kuzminki-Lyublino Museum-Estate in Moscow became part of the nationwide "Night at the Museum" project and hosted the exhibition "The Torments and Joys of Michelangelo Buonarroti" for several hours. The exhibition, which was dedicated to the great Italian sculptor and artist, was held on May 18, 2024, in collaboration with the International Institute of New Educational Technologies (MINOT) of the Russian State University for the Humanities and the public sociocultural initiative "Human Time."

A special part of the art meeting was a musical and sculptural dedication to the world of Michelangelo Buonarroti: to the neo-symphony tribute to the Italian genius "Creatore" (from Italian "creator") by contemporary composer Tigran Jager, leading artists of the Russian Ballet company, Valeria Vasilyeva and Maxim Fomin, performed their unique choreographic production in the interiors of an old Russian estate.

During the "Night of Museums," the estate hosted the first full-scale, 1:1 illustrated edition of "The Sistine Chapel" in Russia. The museum also presented a rare collection of fountain pens from global brands, assembled by members of the "Iskatel" (Seeker) collectors' club, dedicated to the Italian artist, his timeless works, his patrons and supporters, and the cities and regions associated with his work.

The event was covered in almost 40 media and social media publications.
