About Sergei Polunin's Fraudulent Smile, Paradox, Sacré, and Rasputin
Fraudulent Smile features choreography by Ross Freddie Ray set to music by KROKE. Paradox and Sacré both feature choreography by Yuka Oishi, Japanese dancer and choreographer. Paradox is performed to music by Chopin and Stravinsky (Soldier’s Tale). Sacré is a tanztheater piece performed to Stravinsky’s legendary The Rite of Spring. Both Paradox and Sacré explore the life of renowned dancer Vaslav Nijinsky as part of his 130th birthday, with Sacré reimagining his ballet Le Sacre du Printemps, originally created in 1913 for Ballets Russes. The ballets are inspired by Nijinsky’s demand for a “feeling, not thinking Human”, by masterpieces of the Art Brut - the movement of the outsider art, by the essence of rebellion.
Rasputin also features choreography by Yuka Oishi, a new score by Russia’s leader in neoclassical music Kirill Richter, and set design by Otto Bubenicek. Rasputin is a dance drama in two acts that follows the Russian mystic and self-proclaimed holy man Rasputin, who is known for befriending Tsar Nicholas II's family. The figure was portrayed as a supernatural sorcerer in the 1997 film, Anastasia.
