Fourteen named trains run in the Moscow Metro bringing a pleasant diversity to everyday underground commute. The Metro Poetry project aims to introduce people to prominent poets from different countries and eras. The exhibit dedicated to the great English playwright William Shakespeare was created at the studio.
The train called Shakespearean Passions becomes a site for a dialog of epochs. In all times, the feelings the people experience are the same, yet ways to express them are inevitably different. Stormy passions of the past presented in contemporary decor become more understandable when illustrated with Emoji, the graphic language of today.

Themed tickets and posters were produced to promote the project and the accompanying contest.
The project was implemented as part of The UK-Russia Year of Language and Literature 2016. The Shakespearean Passions Metro train will be running on the Filevskaya line of the Moscow Metro for six months starting May 24, 2016.
