What is " Gogol-Mogol TeaRoom Performance Salon”? Akin to Russian form of gathering "posidelki", it is a monthly community event with a Russian Tea Service, concoctions of traditional and not so traditional gogol-mogol, and a presentation of Songs, Dances, Drafts, Etudes, Compositions by our company members, invited artists and those participating in a barter*, making it possible for Artel to connect with friends and those interested in our work, as well as to feed our creative fire for the development of new material. Performed in English, Russian, and Universal, in a communal, informal setting. Each piece is on average 10 minutes long.

Some of the Past Gogol-Mogol Events were based on Winter Kolyada Celebration, Old New Year Holiday, and Maslenitsa "Russian Mardi-Gras" Carnival.

* 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 & guests a traditional dance, song or poem in any language. We welcome and encourage our audiences participation!

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.
