The Bright Stream

During harvest festival at a collective farm, a visiting dance troupe reunites a ballerina with her childhood friend Zina. In order to teach her unfaithful husband a lesson, Zina the ballerina and the ballerina’s husband decide to swap roles for the evening..magnificently.

Alexei Ratmansky invokes the genius of  Shostakovich’s score at the Bolshoi, creating a laugh out loud masterpiece with its bits of slapstick comedy, hilarious deceptions, false identities including Principal Dancer Ruslan Skvortsov dressed as Sylph and its many colorful characters. The Bolshoi bursts with vivid life and bright spirits in Ratmansky’s brilliantly choreographed smash.
