The famous novel by the great Russian classic, poet and playwright Mikhail Lermontov was repeatedly staged in theaters throughout this country. Stage directors shifted the action of the 19th century-novel to the present or left it in the past unchanged, and translated it into a drama or a rock opera. However, this is the first ever ballet based on Mikhail Lermontov’s novel. The innovator is avant-garde film and stage director Kirill Serebrennikov. He dared to bring the new and unusual into the habitual art. The year 2015 saw the premiere of the groundbreaking ballet “A Hero of Our Time”.

Kirill Serebrennikov became not only the author of the libretto and the stage director but also the costume designer, production designer and even the music customer of the ballet. 

“A Hero of Our Time” (1838–1840) by Mikhail Lermontov was the first lyrical-psychological novel in the Russian prose. It consists of several parts with deliberately mixed chronology.

 According to mass media, the ballet’schoreography is neoclassical, whereas the rendering and interpretation of the classic novel are utterly unconventional and unexpected. In general, this is what characterizes Kirill Serebrennikov as a director. By the way, it is not the first time he has been working on this story - in 2010 he staged a series of student performances after “A Hero of Our Time” at the Winzavod Centre.
