The story

Platonov Arts Festival in Voronezh

An international arts festival held every June in Voronezh, named for writer Andrei Platonov and spanning theatre, music, exhibitions, and literature across a deliberately structured multi-part program that brings artists, musicians, painters, and writers from several countries into the city each year, alongside a large street theatre component.

Voronezh hosts one of Russia's more structurally ambitious regional arts festivals each June, named for Andrei Platonov, a writer widely regarded as one of the most original voices in twentieth-century Russian prose.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival organizes its entire program around three distinct tiers: a Main Program of internationally recognized masterpieces already acclaimed by the professional arts community, a Contemporary Art Program built as a platform for creative experimentation, and a dedicated Platonov Program made from works based on or explicitly dedicated to the writer's own literary legacy, giving it an unusually deliberate curatorial structure rather than a single undifferentiated lineup of touring shows
