In total, more than a dozen theatrical performances will be presented during the Games at the Sochi.Park ice rink.

The project "Sochi: Small Stories of a Big City" is a new benchmark in the genre of ice skating performances which will bring together the dynamics of figure skating, the art of dance, the emotions of a dramatic scene and circus art.
