Theatre Square, 1, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 190000

In a performance honoring the classical dance phenom Mikhail Baryshnikov, who was a star in this company until his defection in 1974, Kimin Kim takes on Misha’s super-technical, wise-cracking role in Tharp’s ballet of 1976, Push Comes to Shove, while Vladimir Shklyarov dances the young man who seeks oblivion in the arms of La Mort. —L.J.
