‘Saddest Сhristmas Party Ever’ Held in Siberia (Video)

If you ever feel lonely this Christmas, don’t worry, you won’t be alone. 

Every evening in the frigid Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, three entertainers put on their costumes and trudge up to a stage in a public park for a dancing show.

They dress up as a pig, a dog and an elephant and dance like no one is watching — likely because there really is no one watching.

Night by night, the snow-packed space where the audience should be lies barren.

Social media users have called the show the “saddest party in Krasnoyarsk” after a video of the empty park was published on social media. 

Some have even promised to visit to support the local artists.

Here's a shout-out to the three dancing animals of Siberia.
