Shostakovich - The Golden Age / Zolotoi Vek (Kaptsova, Skvorcov; Grigirovich) 2016 [HDTV 720p]

Grigorovich’s ballet is an exceptional phenomenon, a pointer for ballet in how to portray the contemporary age. The result is all the more brilliant in that in his treatment of this most complex material, the choreographer boldly plumbs for what is most difficult. The Golden Age depicts the when the remains of the old world, which had hidden, crawled out into the open and acted with refined cunning. For the first time in ballet, he presents the detective genre: pursuits, attacks and all.
