### About Sergei Polunin's *Fraudulent Smile, Paradox,* *Sacré, *and* Rasputin*
*Fraudulent Smile* features choreography by **Ross Freddie Ray** set to music by **KROKE**. *Paradox* and *Sacré* both feature choreography by **Yuka Oishi**, Japanese dancer and choreographer. *Paradox* is performed to music by **Chopin** and** Stravinsky** (*Soldier’s Tale*). *Sacré* is a tanztheater piece performed to Stravinsky’s legendary *The Rite of Spring*. Both *Paradox* and *Sacré* explore the life of renowned dancer **Vaslav Nijinsky** as part of his 130th birthday, with *Sacré* reimagining his ballet *Le Sacre du Printemps,* originally created in 1913 for **Ballets Russes**. The ballets are inspired by Nijinsky’s demand for a “feeling, not thinking Human”, by masterpieces of the **Art Brut** - the movement of the outsider art, by the essence of rebellion.
*Rasputin* also features choreography by Yuka Oishi, a new score by Russia’s leader in neoclassical music **Kirill Richter**, and set design by **Otto Bubenicek**. *Rasputin* is a dance drama in two acts that follows the Russian mystic and self-proclaimed holy man Rasputin, who is known for befriending **Tsar Nicholas II**'s family. The figure was portrayed as a supernatural sorcerer in the 1997 film, ***Anastasia***.
