Saying goodbye to spring in the desert: the finals of Student Spring 2022
On April 25 in the Palace of Culture of the XXX anniversary of victory gala-concert of amateur art festival "Student Spring - 2022" took place as usual. Students of Mari State University showed their best numbers of the season and got the deserved awards.
The concert began with a remix of the best dance numbers. As the main idea of the Student Spring - 2022 was the idea of friendship of nations, so the dances were Indian, Russian, Mari, Spanish, Ukrainian... Everyone had a place on the stage. The hosts joked that soon the Palace would not be able to accommodate all the talents of the University, as every year there would be more of them.
The basis of the gala performance was a story about four different peoples who stopped interacting. Due to years of isolation, a drought and famine broke out in the settlement of one of the peoples. Only the brave girl Margo and her comrade Beaver decided to embark on a journey to gain the wisdom of each of the tribes and help their people. Each tribe taught the protagonist (and by extension, the viewer) their virtues. The water tribe taught to believe in their dreams, the earth people told of their love of nature and the fire people showed how to perform feats. Margot and Beaver's journey was accompanied by memorable characters as well as rousing dances, songs and performances from other student productions.
After all the heroes and their friends were united and moving thoughts about being one with the world were spoken, the second part of the performance - farewell to the graduates and the awards ceremony - began. All the participants of the gala concert took to the stage to find out the results:
3rd place - Faculty of Electrical Engineering
2nd place - foreign languages department
1st place - Faculty of History and Philology
Grand Prix - Institute of Natural Sciences and Pharmacy
Thus, Student Spring 2022 has come to an end! Congratulations to everyone who was successful this year and showed what friendship of nations means!
