Clara, danced by Marianna Tcherkassky, hovers somewhere between child and woman. Her godfather Drosselmeyer, brilliantly portrayed by Alexander Minz, is both fatherly and aboil with suppressed eroticism. Baryshnikov accents mystery and the paradox of the light and dark faces of the human soul. Stage Designer Boris Aronson's huge painted panels and fantasy murals form a surreal backdrop for the enchanted events of the ballet...
