Chatting with ballet dancer Nikolai Tsiskaridze kp.ru He noted that the standard of Russian ballet was lowered long before Western sanctions.
“I have been talking about this for 15 years, attitudes towards us have gradually worsened. Those who run the theaters wanted to make as much money as possible and accepted unfavorable conditions. For example, not a single Western theater will go on tour during the holidays. So we went because there were audiences in London or Paris at that time ” Tsiskaridze said indignantly.
According to the artist, when Russian troupes came to Japan in the 1980s, photos of dancers were hung all over the local subway. Tsiskaridze now complained that interest in Russian ballet was decreasing. The dancer believes this is due to over-performance. According to Tsiskaridze, Russian ballet has turned into a “consumer good”.
“They lowered the bar so much that they turned ballet into a consumer good. “When 150 companies go to Europe at the same time and dance Swan Lake, we are lowering the bar in Russian ballet,” explained the artist.
