Theatre Novi Most presents the world premiere of a new bilingual play by Adam Kraar about the tumultuous marriage of American modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan and Russian poet Sergei Esenin. Dancing on the Edge takes place in Russia, Boston and Europe at the dawn of the Soviet Union and follows the passionate pairing of these two celebrated artists, set against a poetic examination of Russian-American relations.

The play is an unflinching look at a cross-cultural and complex couple who rode through the tumultuous birth of the USSR together with shared passion but no common spoken language. The play includes text in both Russian and English and has embedded within it several of Duncan’s dances and Esenin’s poems. Adam Kraar’s play was commissioned by Theatre Novi Most. It has been in development since 2011.
