On May 1st in Munich, as spring unfolded across the world, a heartwarming celebration transformed the day into something extraordinary. The fourth annual event organized by Teplyi Dom by Anya, a charitable initiative founded by Anna Stukkert, brought together art, compassion, and community in a tribute to love and giving.
With support from dedicated collaborators Klara Pecherskaya, Tatyana Sazonova, and Lyudmila Sipilina, this year’s gathering offered much more than seasonal festivities—it became a moving experience that bridged generations and brought people together through shared emotion and purpose.
The centerpiece of the event was the premiere of Hallelujah of Love, an original play written and directed by Odesa-based artist Tatyana Sazonova. With a powerful narrative of redemption through love, the performance captivated the audience. Gencho Todorov’s portrayal of Satan and Nadezhda Kravchenko’s embodiment of Love led the emotional journey, culminating in a transformative scene where the Angel, played by Aurelia Todorova, offers a red heart painting to Satan, symbolizing his rebirth as a human. Set against the haunting beauty of music from Juno and Avos, the performance left a lasting impression.
The event also featured uplifting performances by singers Anna Derevianko and Anna Brandt, who not only graced the stage but also served as dedicated volunteers.
Beyond the theater, the day unfolded with joyful community activities — grilled food, live music, poetry readings, and dancing. One of the most inspiring moments came from Alexandra Zalevskaya, who performed a powerful wheelchair dance titled Keep Going and Never Give Up, embodying resilience and hope.
A remarkable new chapter was written this year when the senior attendees organized a fundraiser to benefit Ukrainian orphans. This act of intergenerational support became a defining symbol of the event’s deeper mission: nurturing compassion across all ages.
Teplyi Dom by Anya remains a sanctuary of unity and empathy, welcoming all who believe in the power of kindness.
As its founders and supporters often say:
“This is just the beginning.”
