ABOUT THE EVENT

This production of Shostakovich's "The Bright Stream" by Alexei Ratmansky about idyllic life on a Soviet kolkhoz is a masterwork of refined humour, built with sniper-like directorial precision.

Milkmaids and tractor drivers, a brigade of artists, quality inspectors and vacationers; costume changes, misunderstandings, love, and jealousy, harvest festivals, kolkhozers' waltzes, Kazakh dances, and the vegetable march - all of these take place over the course of one day in the 1930s, on a kolkhoz named The Bright Stream, somewhere in central Russia. Alexei Ratmansky's clever reanimation of the work, forbidden and publicly censured during the Stalin period, was first brought to light by the Bolshoi Theatre.
