Nureyev
Nureyev, directed by double BAFTA-nominated filmmakers David and Jacqui Morris (McCullin, Attacking the Devil), traces the extraordinary life of dance icon Rudolf Nureyev.
I brought the project to Rattling Stick, helped negotiate the deal, provided story advice throughout, and was Creative EP for Rattling Stick, including across the specially commissioned dance sequences choreographed by Royal Ballet alumnus Russell Maliphant.
Born in the fifth-class carriage of a trans-Siberian train, Nureyev defected to the West at the height of the Cold War, formed a legendary partnership with Margot Fonteyn, became a global cultural phenomenon, and died tragically during the AIDS crisis.
His life plays out like the plot of a Russian novel.
“A meticulous, heartbreaking tour de force.”
Leslie Felperin — The Guardian
“Instantly essential.”
