Consequently, they could not evoke to the fullest degree joy, ecstasy, sorrow or despair. Instead, focus was on the dancers’ technical excellence which shone brightly. The bare stage further highlighted the dancing.

The eight of us, bouncing along the road in a van with shocks that hadn’t been changed since the end of the Cold War. My wife and I, my mother-in-law and aunt, my brother-in-law, his wife and my sister-in-law – all heading for the city limits of Moscow like the Beverly Hillbillies, looking for culture and food and maybe something a little more mysterious. Our Russian guide, Aleksandr, reminded more than one passenger of George Costanza – the balding, diminutive, bespectacled crank from TV’s Seinfeld.
