Nikolai Tsiskaridze is a bright, charismatic personality whose erudition, independence and sharpness of judgment turn every statement into an event. The autobiography "My Theatre" is based on his diary of 1985-2003. It is a lively, full of subtle irony, humor, and sometimes sadness story about himself, about time and ballet. Memories: childhood, family, Tbilisi and Moscow, studies at a choreographic school, the collapse of the USSR, the secession of Georgia; invitation to the Bolshoi Theatre, a difficult beginning of career, tours around the world; recognition in the profession, but at the same time constantly overcoming themselves, circumstances and numerous obstacles, the joy of creativity, despite the intrigues of ill-wishers. The story of life unfolds on the book pages like a detective. Against the background of this maelstrom of events, the image of the departing Great Theater of the late twentieth century emerges. Precise, in many ways unexpected, portraits of famous people with whom the author was lucky or unlucky to meet are drawn. Among the heroes and anti-heroes of the book: Pestov, Grigorovich and Petit, Semyonova 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. Irina Deshkova
