"Through stunning murals and half-life-sized paper-mâché models, one can almost hear the roar of a raging white river as it tosses a log raft, steered with epic oars by crouching mustachioed rafters in red-banded fedoras and white tunics and red trousers; and one can almost hear the blast of trembitas and the ring of tsymbalies announcing the arrival of a plume-hatted and bartok-emboldened wedding party, decked out in a blaze of white, red, orange, and black."
