About the project (provided by the applicant)
In Kazan, an exclusive authorial edition of the ballet was presented, realized personally by L. Myasin. The set designer, Honored Artist of Russia Viktor Gerasimenko, created two-level scenery reminiscent of the architecture of ancient Hellas. Monumental caryatids, symbolizing Eternity, overlook the plot’s twists and turns. An integral part of the artistic solution is video projections (video artist — Dmitry Shamov).
