About the performance

The world premiere of the ballet The Seagull took place on the 1st of July 2021 at the Bolshoi Theatre.

The Seagull continues the direction, chosen by the Bolshoi Theatre in 2010s, when it started requesting large-scale ballets, based on Russian history and literature.

The plot of the classical play by Anton Chekhov was long pioneered by the ballet theatre. Moreover, every choreographer distinguished their own theme in the play about Russian life at the end of the 19th century, which reflected the transition between epochs and the replacement of realism by modernism.

The world premiere took place on 1 July 2021.

Synopsis

Act one,

in which a young artist is looking for new forms of art

A small village. Masha dates Medvedenko, a strange creature she has invented herself as a cure for her unrequited love for Treplev. Having come to his senses after Doctor Dorn’s therapy, Treplev is in search of new forms of dance, which arouses the interest of the villagers, who, for a short time, become a dance company working on his new production.
