But despite the fact that Rudolf Nureyev’s life passed in the merciless spotlight, the secret of his personality remained a secret. Nureyev had too many faces, but what was he really like? A generous egoist, a generous miser, a shy brawler, a noble scoundrel... In “The Dancer,” fiction is closely intertwined with facts.
