* Gogol-Mogol TeaRoom is a way for Artel to connect with friends and those interested in our work, as well as to feed our own creative fire for the development of new material.

** barter is a form of repayment that can be done in the following forms: performing a song, a piece of music, a dance, a poem, or teaching our company a traditional dance, song or poem in any language.


What is Gogol-Mogol? An egg-based concoction known as Gogol-Mogol, comes in numerous forms with all manner of ingredients. Common to most recipes is egg yolks whipped stiff with sugar; other options include egg white, milk, vanilla, nutmeg, honey, citrus rind, rum or cognac, short crust, berries, fruits and other assorted toppings. Said to help smooth and soothe a singer’s sore throat, a Gogol-Mogol could be just what the doctor ordered on a cold winter’s day.
