Idea of the festival
It's time to choose. It's time to act!..

'SOBYITIE' will introduce you to the unique people — 'objective' poets of our time. They are totally different by age, habits and points of view. But all of them look right at the face of time as true artists.
'SOBYITIE' is an alternative festival, it has the spirit of FREEDOM. Here we can meet, look in each other's eyes. Talk. Exchange the most important, the most sacred — which is created together. Exchange our creativity... And you know what? You can't GIVE freedom. You can only TAKE it.
It's time to change everything, never forgetting who we are.
In 2016, 36 cities and towns of Russia and the CIS took part in the festival.

FEEDBACK
(automatically translated into English with Yandex translator)
I think it is very important the existence of such a festival unlike any other. Where the underlying core is Act! The movement of the Soul can not find a response. Yesterday raining suddenly changed on the sun during the show street format - "Brave carp" - street performance of Creative Association "Carnavalet" (Saint-Petersburg) - the clouds dispersed. Peter is still the Sun. And let his Light warms up the Participants of the Festival in These Five Strange and Magical days of September! Good Luck To Everyone!"
