Overview

Poyushchiye Fontany (Singing Fountains) is a prominent water feature located in front of the Puppet Theater Ekiyat in Kazan. The installation features a complex system of water jets synchronized with lighting effects and musical compositions. It serves as a central social focal point, particularly during the warm season when the fountains are active. The surrounding plaza is designed as an open-air public space integrated with the architectural design of the fairy-tale-style theater building.

It functions as both a recreational amenity and a visual landmark for the city's Vakhitovsky District.
