On June 5 in Vienna, we will talk about how collective intelligence is born and whether we can become not only stupider but also smarter when we get together.At a lecture by science journalist Ilya Kolmanovsky in Vienna, we will explore what happens when people gather in a group: how their brains work - all together in a crowd and individually for each person."It's very important to understand: why do people perform worse in a group? Is it possible, using the achievements of science, studying experiments on volunteers, to make us not a mad, but on the contrary, a wise crowd? Will magic happen and it will turn out that together people produce much better results than if they acted each for himself?" says Ilya Kolmanovsky. - says Ilya Kolmanovsky.We recommend this lecture for adults, but you can also bring teenagers if you wish. Come and let's talk!Ilya Kolmanovsky is a PhD candidate in biology, science reporter, and author of the podcasts "Naked Digger" and "One and a Half Digger". His job is to read scientific research every day, talk to scientists, and visit their labs (sometimes as a research volunteer). And then to put together offline meetings, discussions, and workshops to talk together about what the scientists have asked us to pass on and what we want to pass on to them in return.

The "Lords of the Sound" orchestra has prepared another surprise, an unforgettable evening with the new program "The Music of Hans Zimmer". "Dune", "Spider-Man 2", "The Dark Knight", "Interstellar", "Gravity", "Sherlock Holmes", "Angels and Demons", "The Da Vinci Code", "Pearl Harbor", "Gladiator", "Mission: Impossible Origins”, "Pirates of the Caribbean”, "Spirit”, "Wonder Woman”, "Madagascar” - hits by Hans Zimmer performed by the famous symphony orchestra Lords of The Sound! Hans Zimmer is a German film composer who became famous for the cult film Rain Man. "When I was composing the score for Rain Man, I always thought: Don't try to drown out the characters. Stay away from the foreground. Raymond, the main character, doesn't really understand where he is. He sees the world differently than we do. Why not create "world music” for a world that exists only in his head? - Hans recalls. This work became a real breakthrough in his career - Zimmer was nominated for an Oscar. Hollywood's top directors lined up to work with him. And Hans completely abandoned his work, often composing musical themes for two or three films at the same time. His music impressed Disney studios so much that they commissioned Zimmer to score the animated film The Lion King. The musical theme for the film brought him three prestigious awards - Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy. Since then, Zimmer has won numerous awards and become one of the best in Hollywood. No Oscar ceremony is complete without a Zimmer nomination. The spectacular success of the Lords of the Sound orchestra's concerts, combined with the best compositions of Hans Zimmer, will immerse you in an unforgettable experience, in the atmosphere of a wonderful fairy tale, filled with the beauty of the symphonic sound of your favorite compositions, a rock band, vibrant visual effects, powerful vocal performances of soloists and choir, energy and unstoppable positivity of the entire team!

On May 25 on the stage of Urania Berlin - Alexander Gudkov, Alexander Pal, Marina Vasilieva, as well as Evgenia Borzykh, Kirill Ivanov and Stanislav Astakhov (the group "The Biggest Simple Number") will present a musical performance "The Lost Mirror" full of fun, magic and good hopes. It is a fairy-tale performance for adults and children (from 6 years old) about the adventures of a hand mirror with a shard of a star on its handle. It escapes from thieves and vagabonds, talks to Trumo and the Mermaid Professor, gets captured by the Diving Bird, always finding itself in the most unexpected places. And, of course, the mirror is magic: it reflects joys and experiences, despair and hope, rejection and love, and helps its owners to see the realization of great and impossible desires - even a flight into space. During their wanderings and adventures, the Mirror and the audience learn a lot about themselves and the world around them - about the existence of a chocolate zoo, a sausage reticule, garden kittens and much more. And the main truth - you don't have to be magical to have something magical happen to you! All the action will unfold against the background of video sets with illustrations by Pavel Pepperstein, the writer and artist, on the motives of whose work this performance is based. The costumes for the performance, surreal and "very literal", were created by a team from several countries under the direction of artists Maria Levina and Polina Grechko. The music for "The Lost Mirror" was written by the SBHR group - it is the material familiar to listeners of the audio story of the same name, as well as compositions created especially for the performance. They will be performed live by the artists of the production.
