The Bolt. Anastasia Yatsenko, Andrei Merkuriev, Denis Savin, Morikhiro
Published: 2007 Alexei Ratmansky's tongue-in-cheek staging of Shostakovich's banned 1931 ballet is set in a fantasy Soviet factory where robots tower over human beings and idleness, jealousy, and frustrated love lead to sabotage. The final section is a dream sequence in which one of the heroes sees himself, among Red Army men, saving the Red Army Fleet from a diver bent on sabotage.
