This dance-infused theatrical production focuses on Nureyev's extraordinarily dramatic defection from Russia on June 16, 1961. Choreographed and performed by Ignatius van Heerden with direction by acclaimed Andre Odendaal. Ignatius van Heerden's passion for dance is expressed in jazz, ballet, and contemporary dance forms.
