training with Russian directors or acting teachers.
The naturalness, the expressiveness and yet control, of the three principals in B and S show the richness of Russian theatrical heritage: the part of the commentary I heard mentioned their experimental theater experience.
To me, one of the great historical mysteries is how Russia went from a Byzantine/Asian culture to one which so excelled in many Western art forms, even inventing one: ballet.

I know, as a transplanted fellow myself, that you must suffer some enormous amount of homeland longing. I love the US but, compared to the culture I left behind, it is... kind of anemic, colorless.
