They represent, rather, exalted and stylized kitsch-a form of pop ballet in which folk elements are woven into a formal dance structure created by the company's founder and artistic director, Bolshoi-trained Igor Moiseyev, 64.

He pulls the mind of man above itself by the renovation of new rules. In this last book he laughs life into lucidity, he laughs the world into health. It is now an old man's laughter, pungent, compassionate, never self-serving...
