The extraordinary story of Rudolf Nureyev, the international ballet star whose daring defection from the Soviet Union stirred the world.

The lecture will focus on Nureyev’s biography, his unique personality, the circumstances that led to his daring defection to the West, and the heavy personal price he paid. The story of a man whose defection became an act of freedom against the most rigid regime in the world.
