BOLSHOI BABYLON

BOLSHOI BABYLON

NYC PREMIERE If you’re looking to understand Russia, the Bolshoi Ballet is a good place to start. This visually stunning work, backed by HBO Documentary Films, takes us inside the Bolshoi’s world of great artistry and intense rivalry in the dramatic year after an acid attack on its leader. While one of the company members is brought to trial for the attack, we witness a power struggle behind the scenes for control of the company.
