The fountains are positioned directly in front of the Ekiyat Puppet Theater, a building noted for its distinctive 'toy castle' architecture.
The water effects are programmed to perform in sequence with a repertoire of both classical and contemporary musical tracks.
The fountain system incorporates hundreds of underwater LED fixtures that change color in real-time with the water jets.
The plaza surrounding the fountains is designed to host public gatherings and outdoor events throughout the summer months.
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. The fountains utilize dynamic pump systems to vary water pressure, creating rhythmic patterns that mimic choreography. It functions as both a recreational amenity and a visual landmark for the city's Vakhitovsky District.
