“FAIRY TALE IN THE NORTH” ONLINE PERFORMANCE

We went on a virtual journey through the Kola Peninsula with young travelers Masha and Sasha. The action took place in five locations: Gorelaya Mountain in Murmansk, Teriberka village, Lovozero village, Kirovsk town and Five Corners Square in Murmansk. Each location is a synthesis of computer graphics and live characters performed by actors; that is, a real live character was placed in a virtual computer world. As a result, we saw a drawn space in which a person descends the hill on a virtual snowboard, skis or a snowmobile, avoiding obstacles. Accompanied by the Snow Maiden, who was also the game moderator, children solved online problems, puzzles, and passed the arcades, guiding Sasha and Masha and helping them on their journey through the Murmansk region. Only together they were able to get to the main Christmas tree of the Arctic Circle, where with the help of the collected toys they decorated the tree and lit the lights on it. All of the questions that the Snow Maiden asked were answered by children in the comments; this is where we saw their activity. A pleasant surprise for all children was a congratulation from the Governor of the Murmansk region A. V. Chibis.
