Intermark new podcast episode is already here! That most Hallowed time of year is upon us again when everything is doused in pumpkin flavors and people especially in USA and in some European countries spends a month acting like cosplayers do year round (that is to say, approaching every strange and discarded garment as a potentially useful tool and trying to out-obscure friends and loved ones). How did you understand, today’s episode is devoted to this holiday. And we named it “Trick or treat: Halloween as an essential part of today’s life and its interpretation in art”. And we will discuss this topic with our today’s quest, the Artistic Director and creator of the «Flying Banana Children Theatre» in Moscow, Martin Cooke. Enjoy your listening!
