By the way, Bezrukov has a certain relation to the ballet: in the movie “After you” he
played dancer and choreographer with a complicated fate. About it Sergey has recollected, when the host of the evening, Yulia Baranovskaya invited him to submit one of the rooms. Two sides of the stage erected symbolic ballet beautiful dressing rooms with mirrors, velvet sofas and skirts-packs.

In these dressing rooms Baranovskaya between the rooms and was invited to talk to the star choreographers and ballet-lovers, among whom were not only the hope, but Irina Pegova and Victor Drobysh. Character interviews have become and fashion designer Igor Chapurin. He came up with costumes for several of the rooms of this program and, by the way, many years ago, his collaboration with the ballet theater had just started work at a Large.
Mini-interview with Baranovskaya every time I stressed how upset, by becoming a party to such an event. To appease the excitement of the star not even helped her older son Artyom Arshavin, for which Great familiar and favorite place. He sings in the children’s choir of the theatre than his mom is very proud: “Subject knowledgeably morning reassured me, saying that I’m not worried. when I go out on stage and don’t worry…”, Julia did not hesitate to ask the choreographer of the Bolshoi Andrei Merkuriev if he could make her “prima ballerina.” And at the end of the evening I even got to try on the tutu.

Talking about “Persons”, the artistic Director of the Youth ballet program of the Bolshoi theatre Sergei Filin confessed: “We are not looking for “second Petipa” or “second Grigorovich — we are interested in new creative individuality. New FACES… Each of today’s choreographers choreographers already has some experience, but for us they are — young choreographers. Young not by age, in spirit…”

“Persons” are to Big for the second time. And this time they have acquired an international scale, as in the program invited foreign choreographers. By the way, one of the most surprising rooms in the evening became the “Moments” set to Tariverdiev’s music, directed by the Englishman Alessandro Caggegi (he studied in Russia and speaks Russian). The hero of this miniature was … Stirlitz. It was unusual to see the hero of the cult TV series “Seventeen moments of spring”, conveys her feelings through sculpture. However, the Prime Minister of Great Michael Lobukhin coped with this challenge.

The Chilean Eduardo Zuniga presented room which involved the grate. Usually this part of the scene the viewer sees, as these huge structures suspended lighting equipment. Zuniga dropped to the enormous size of the mechanism to the stage.
The program showed 13 rooms — modern and classic music: Mozart, Debussy, Leoncavallo and Respighi, Barber and Philip glass. In the end, the evening lasted almost 4 hours. Went to the scene and the young artists and “stars”. The troupe has combined his training program with the release of two big Prime (the ballet “Romeo and Juliet” and “Nureyev”). So, for example, “light” rehearsal went all night before the premiere.
As assured after the end of the play the owl, these productions of the imagination of the choreographers is not exhausted. And the new “Face” will be held.
