In teasing out the connection between The Old Woman and the nuclear-powered-spaceship scene in Einstein, one is tempted to describe
Baryshnikov and Dafoe as the two charged particles produced by nuclear fission--comparable to each other but of different sizes.
Mikhail
Baryshnikov, a native of Riga, Latvia, was born in 1948 in Latvia and began studying ballet as a young boy in 1957.
One of his mother's American "students" gives Boris a banned VHS copy of "White Nights," the 1985 thriller starring Mikhail
Baryshnikov, who was at the time still persona non grata in the Soviet Union owing to his defection.
"The goal of the
Baryshnikov Arts Theatre Group was to create a space worthy of not only the name but moreover the vision of Mikhail
Baryshnikov," said Boland.
The fest also showcases a Philip Glass composition; Opera Baroque, a tented marionette-and-live-actor funhouse from the Forman Brothers of the Czech Republic; Hurricane, a new play by Pulitzer--winning dramatist Nilo Cruz (see page 24); and Solos with Mikhail
Baryshnikov and David Neumann.
Baryshnikov is a half-brother to Australasian sire sensation Zabeel, whose progeny include two Australian Horses of the Year, Octagonal and Might And Power, and the winners of two Australian Derbies and two New Zealand Derbies.
Career:
Baryshnikov joined the Kirov Ballet in 1967 making his debut in Giselle.
Russian dancer Mikhail
Baryshnikov, 54: Widely considered the best male classical dancer of the 20th century,
Baryshnikov was born in Riga, Latvia, where he first studied ballet, dancing, choreography, and acting.
Proving once again that a big star and an adaptation of a classic literary work that everyone has heard of but not necessarily read will sell the house out every time, Mikhail
Baryshnikov appeared for a limited run in another sort of farce, a stage version of Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis (directed by Steven Berkoff at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre).
I'll never forget the first time I was shown a video of Mikhail
Baryshnikov. My mouth dropped open and my eyes widened.
