Anastasia Volochkova: Nerve

Former Mariinsky and Bolshoi ballerina Anastasia Volochkova presents a dance and music spectacle that promises the kind of high drama you might expect from a woman who arrived at her Hello! wedding by hot air balloon. 'Nerve' feeds on her own experiences and miseries (which could include the romance with a Russian oligarch that nearly ruined her career, or the husband who left her for a religious cult) and turns them into an evening of 'heart-stopping' dance. Set to music by Tchaikovsky, Puccini and Purcell, guest artists are dancers Rinat Arifulin (Bolshoi) and Yevgeny Ivanchenko (Mariinsky), and opera singers Natalia Borozdina and Vassily Efimov.
