Metro stations are often places of hustle and bustle with people just trying to get to their destination as quickly as possible, but at Dostoyevskaya metro station in Moscow, Russia, it was transformed into a place for art at least for one night. /CFP Photo

Moscow Ballet Theater artists performed a scene from the Cafe Idiot play based on the novel by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) at the station on Saturday March 11, 2017. /CFP Photo

It was part of the Metro Night event, a cultural and educational project which takes place several times a year at night in Moscow's subway bringing high art to the masses. /CFP Photo

Hundreds of spectators watched the performance in this unusual setting. /CFP Photo
