Traditional popular shows are described in the book. Speaking roughly any ritual is a kind of show. But for those who performed a ritual it was a sacred mystery. Thus the book is also about ancient believes and rituals. The publication contains a rich collection of scenarios of skomorokh's stagings, songs and ethnographic commentaries to the literary works.
