Event Brief
“Chanel vs. Rubinstein” is a revelatory performance about talent, the choice between love and freedom, and the power of female genius. It’s about those who dared to be first.
On stage there are two legends, two opposites:
– Gabrielle Chanel , daring, free, changing the rules of the game (Ekaterina Varnava);
— Ida Rubinstein , the star of the “Russian Seasons”, a woman-myth who lives by dance (Svetlana Ustinova).
Between them is Grand Duke Dmitry Romanov , a man without a homeland, with a past that is impossible to escape (Dmitry Kondrashov).
Love here becomes a duel of passion, talent and fate.
Jealousy is music.
Pain is art.
Chanel creates a fragrance that will forever preserve her name.
Rubinstein, experiencing the pain of separation, commissioned Maurice Ravel to compose music to which he would dance his despair – and thus “Bolero” was born.
“Chanel vs. Rubinstein” is an intellectual and emotional duel where art proves stronger than love.
On stage, there’s more than just a confrontation. It’s a frank conversation about the price of freedom, the loneliness at the top, the time that spares no one, and the character that is stronger than circumstances.
Their dialogue is sharp, ironic, painfully honest.
Their confrontation is a reflection of the eternal conflict between taste and daring, intuition and calculation, minimalism and luxury.
Welcome to the fight where there are no winners,
because legends never lose.
