Aftertaste
Viktor
Moscow. The night on the Eve of 1947. The war veteran Victor is going to a girl that he loves. The day earlier he was unloading railroad cars to buy a nice present for Helya. Helya is from Poland, a student of the Moscow Conservatoire. Victor and Helya will see the New Year in at their friend’s. Only one night when all secrets are revealed, when the feelings are poured out, but circumstances dictate their own rules. Victor and Helya are made for each other, but they are facing a choice — of the country where to live, of love or career. All of us have to make a choice in our life. When the day breaks, the fate of the two heroes will be decided.
Anna Karenina
Stepan Oblonsky (Stiva)
Directed by Lithuanian choreographer, Anželika Cholina, this multiple award-winning Vakhtangov Theatre production of Anna Karenina tells the story of Tolstoy’s classic novel entirely in contemporary dance. In this way, Cholina succeeds in finding the equivalent of Tolstoy's words in harmony and movement, with every gesture holding meaning. The distinctive music of Alfred Schnittke helps to reveal the inner turmoil of the characters and their depth. Winner of the "Villanueva Award", Best Foreign Performance, International Havana Theatre Festival; Winner "Crystal Turandot" Best Debut Performance, Olga Lerman.
