"Festival "Freilehe Kinder" passed Cool! We liked festival very much. On some moment, when we acted in a performance I has felt as the actor. Because, when you are with somebody on a stage and know, that all hall looks at you, with ease you can feel as the actor. For those 3 days, on which there was a festival, I have got acquainted with the boys and girls from other cities, seen the old friends. The festival was just SUPER! I hope that the next year I shall go on a festival "Freilehe kinder 3". Mikhailenko Roman.
