At the center of the company is the malevolent charming impresario Boris Lermontov. Lermontov lives through his creations. Under the authoritarian rule this charismatic ballet impresario, his proteges realize the full promise of their talents, but at a price: utter devotion to their art and complete loyalty to Lermontov himself.
