In the words of Forrest Gump, born in a tiny town in the southern United States, “Stupid is as stupid does.” In spite of his mental disabilities, he lives an incredible life. He taught Elvis to dance, became an American football star, held his own in Vietnam, and spoke with the President as an equal. Most importantly, he always stayed true to himself and helped people without expecting anything in return. That’s how a naive fool taught a lot of people that honesty, goodness and love are often more important than a high IQ.

18:00. Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Ballet in two acts. 165 min. Libretto by Yuri Grigorovich after scenario by Vladimir Begichev and Vasily Geltser. Choreographer: Yuri Grigorovich (2001 version). Scenes in choreography by Marius Petipa, Lev Ivanov, Alexander Gorsky used. Music Director: Pavel Sorokin. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote a little ballet about swans for his nieces and nephews. He used some of the music from this ballet for Swan Lake. The story of the ballet is based on a German fairy tale. This tale was probably tweaked by Tchaikovsky and his friends during the ballet's early discussion stages. Swan Lake is a ballet that has become a symbol of Russian art itself. World premiere of Swan Lake took place at Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow on 20 February 1877, the choreographer of the production was Julius Resinger. Despite the fact, his work was considered unsuccessful by the critics of the day, Resinger’s original production of Swan Lake was kept in the active repertoire of the Bolshoi Theatre for seven years and was performed over thirty times. The second birth of the performance was on 15 January 1895 at the Mariinsky Theatre in St.Petersburg. The revival by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov is a basis for most ballet companies, staging Swan Lake nowadays. It is also worth mentioning Swan Lake premiere in London in the Ballets Russes theatre, performed by glorious Sergei Diaghilev with choreography made by Michel Fokine, which took place in 1911. The Swan Lake performance survived for more than a century without any significant changes since Maruis Petipa’s times and nowadays is being staged in more than 290 theatres all over the world.
