Igor Stravinsky’s ballet Petrouchka was first staged by Michel Fokine during the saisons russes in Paris in 1911. Fokine’s ballet was brought to the Mariinsky Theatre’s repertoire by Leonid Leontiev in 1920. Specially for the VI Festival Maslenitsa (Shrovetide), the American dancer and choreographer Gary Chryst has worked to bring back the ballet to the Mariinsky Theatre. Chryst worked on stage rehearsals of Petrouchka for the acclaimed Joffrey Ballet in New York in 1970 under Diaghilev’s friend Leonide Massine, a soloist with the Ballets russes and an renowned choreographer. In 2006, Chryst staged Petrouchka for American Ballet Theatre and later for the National Ballet of Canada.
