Nikolay Tsiskaridze is a bright, charismatic personality whose erudition, independence and sharpness of judgment turn every utterance into an event.Autobiography "My Theater" is based on the diary of 1985-2003. This is a lively, full of subtle irony, humor, and sometimes sadness, a story about yourself, about time and ballet. Memories: childhood, family, Tbilisi and Moscow, studying at a choreographic school, the collapse of the USSR, the separation of Georgia; an invitation to the Bolshoi Theater, a difficult start to a career, touring around the world; recognition in the profession, but at the same time constantly overcoming oneself, circumstances and numerous obstacles; the joy of creativity, despite the intrigues of detractors. The story of life unfolds on the pages of a book like a detective story. Against the background of this maelstrom of events, the image of the outgoing Great Theater of the late twentieth century arises. Precise, in many ways unexpected, portraits of famous people with whom the author was lucky or unlucky enough to meet are emerging. Among the heroes and antiheroes of the book: Pestov, Grigorovich and Petit, Semenova and Ulanova, Maximova and Vasiliev, Princess Diana and Shevardnadze, Givenchy and Westwood, Baryshnikov and Volochkova, Shvydkoi, Filin and many others. And to judge: who is who is the privilege of the reader.
