The story of the great ballerina will come to life in an emotional lecture by ballet historian Olga Fedorchenko. The lecture "Maya Plisetskaya: Fate in a Thousand Lives" is part of the national project "My Maya," dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the great ballerina's birth. It is not just a biography of a stage star, but a story about a woman who endured repression, wars, deprivation, and the distrust of the system, yet remained true to her art. Plisetskaya was not born in a royal palace like the heroines of ballet fairy tales. Her childhood was cruelly overshadowed by her father's execution, her mother's exile, and the threat of being sent to an orphanage for "enemies of the people." Then came the war, a ban on traveling abroad, and constant pressure from the security services. Her Carmen, Swans, Anna Karenina - these are not only literary images but also living ones, filled with tragedy and beauty. The stage became both a refuge and a weapon for Plisetskaya - a way to survive, express herself, and confront fear. The St. Petersburg poster is available on KudaGo.
