At the center of the action are four ballerinas, who represent the collective images of different eras of academic choreography: a ballerina from the Romantic era, a ballerina from Petipa's time, a neoclassical ballerina from the 20th century, and a ballerina from today. Inspired by Ernst von Donahue's "Variations on a Children's Song for Piano and Orchestra," the performance will be filled with lightness, freshness, and subtle humor.

In the new interpretation of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's legendary music, the choreographer-director and the team of authors depart from the usual understanding of the well-known ballet plot as a children's-family and completely fairy-tale one. There will be no Hoffmann characters here: this is a story almost about our contemporaries, ordinary people with their inherent worries and anxieties, with the naivety of youth, the disappointments of growing up, and the newfound hope.

Tchaikovsky's majestic opera takes us back to the pivotal year of 1429 during the Hundred Years' War. France, weakened by civil strife and English intervention, is on the brink of destruction. Orléans is the last bastion of hope. It is in this fateful hour that the young Joan of Arc appears, her faith becoming a sword and her sacrifice a banner.

Reverse metamorphosis: a biobot gains a soul. A dance performance by Olga Labovkina, one of the most prominent choreographers of Russian contemporary dance. Unexpectedly and uncharacteristically for this short format, it is divided into two acts, but this is absolutely justified, because the two acts represent two different worlds.
