SVELTLANA LOFATKINA. Lyrical, lissome,long-legged Sveltlana, "The Chernobyl Cherub," has produced "frissons" in audiences on every continent but two with her ineffable delicacy and refinement.
This limber gamine has captivated hearts since her auspicious debut as Talyusha, the Left Nostril, in the ballet drawn from the The Nose by N. Gogol.
She is renowned for her portrayal of sensitive, tortured, neurotic ladies and other kvetches.
R.M. "PRINCE" MYSHKIN. Mongolian-born, Cream of the Tartars, the artist formerly known as Prince Myshkin, electrified the world over a decade ago when he leapt Over the Wall or Under the Curtain whichever came first. Since his arrival in the West, Myshkin's mercurial charm has quickened pulses, bruised shins, and caused gasps of disbelief.
Although the current tour marks Myshkin's American debut, the sovereign of the Steppes has already created a reputation abroad, where he is not expected to return.
Recipient of many rewards since his days at the prestigious Young Pioneers Academy of Tashkent, he was most recently named People's Artist of the Komsomol Prospekt with Piroshki. Myshkin, the beau ideal, brings dignity, restraint, elegance, reserve and pep to his roles, and will soon be seen as the entire cast of the The Little Troika That Could.
