Based on Russia’s infamous “Mad Monk” Grigori Rasputin, this ballet production stars superstar Sergei Polunin, who will perform in Singapore for the first time. The bad boy of ballet was London Royal Ballet’s youngest-ever male principal dancer at the age of 21. Polunin’s controversial role in Rasputin explores the ambivalence between power and weakness, good and evil. Rasputin also touches on the title character’s complex psychology and moral ambivalence, as well as his catastrophic effect on the Russian court. The set is modelled on a chessboard.
