Ballet

2023 · 1 season

A slow, polished swirl of old resentments and backstage scheming, where grace on stage hides bitter rivalries and bruised hearts off it.

Alla Sigalova, Mariya Fomina, Fyodor Bondarchuk
Overview
In the past, Soviet prima ballerina and now world-renowned choreographer Ruta Myers returns to the country after almost 40 years to stage a performance at the country's main ballet theater. Ruta is forced to rebuild relationships with friends and enemies, who have become key people in the Russian ballet over the past time, but most importantly — with the artistic director of the theater Andrei Pronin and his family. They were once a couple, and now old feelings and old resentments flare up with renewed vigor. A lot of money, ambitions, and a career are at stake — Ruta, despite all her efforts, finds herself in the epicenter of passions and intrigues very far from the world of art.
