Kettik!
This week’s guide
Seven days, each one filled with something. Baba Shanel at the theater, Timur Khamadullin on the stage of Sakhna, Plovistan at Sado.makon with Funktion-One and DJs from Berlin, Mansur Tashmatov closing the anniversary jazz festival, and Roma Egorov performing an autofiction piece about Andijan in 2005. In between all this — a patriotic run in the park, a spring gala concert at Panorama, and painting in the Astronomy Park. Nine events — pick what suits your taste!
