The Pushkinsky Theatre is located in front of the Pushkin Square, one of the numerous places along the boulevard Ring of Moscow. This beautiful town square with flowerbeds, charming street lamps and a large statue of the famous Russian poet Alexander Pushkin is the perfect place for this theatre to stand: the harmony between the city and the culture. 

To the huge stairway allowing the Pushkinsky Square to throw itself into the theatre, is incorporated a monumental shard which serves as an elevated public space, a visual signal, a tier as well as a stand. This architectural object, almost a constructivist gesture, stands as a symbol of the grandiose past of the theatre in a strong and contemporary manner. It responds to the new shell of the building by its materiality, its form and its boldness. It also creates new possibilities to inhabit the public space, allowing outdoor gathering and conferences, new interactions with the guests during the Moscow International Film Festival and an attractive place for people to stand while waiting to go to their favorite movie.
