The RNAA invites you to a screening of “Donna Tanya. One Hundred Years of Happiness,” a documentary about Tatiana Leskova, a 101-year-old ballerina in Brazil whose life is the history of Russian emigre ballet. Leskova is also the great-granddaughter of Nikolai Leskov, one of Russia’s great 19th century writers. Maya Kucherskaya, Russia’s foremost expert on Leskov and creator of “Donna Tanya,” will present the film (directed by Tatiana Sorokina), which was made with the support of the RNAA and premiered at the Diaghilev P.S. Festival Saint Petersburg in 2023.
The film is in Russian with English subtitles.
Maya Kucherskaya is also known for her short stories and novels about the Russian Orthodox Church and her biography of Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich.
