Genius is as genius does – The Arts Desk

The story of legendary ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev, whose rise to stardom and sensational defection to the West stunned the world at the height of the Cold War. A portrait of a fierce independent spirit, captured by David Hare’s script and Ralph Fiennes’ direction in the depiction of raw physicality, beauty, and brilliance of an exceptional ballet dancer, blending artistry with political intrigue, and a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with the KGB. The birth of a legend.

‘If I had danced, you would remember’ – Nureyev
