Invited back for Les Étés de la Danse in collaboration with the Theatre National de Chaillot, Mikhail Baryshnikov returns to Paris with an original project which combines theater, dance, music and video.

The show is a stage adaptation of the new In Paris written in 1940 by the Russian writer Ivan Bunin (1870-1953), Nobel Prize for Literature in 1933. It is a production of the Baryshnikov Arts Center & Laboratory of Dmitry Krymov, in association with the Century Foundation and the Russian Korjaamo Theatre in Helsinki.

In the new Paris is the story of two Russian immigrants who meet by chance in Paris in 1930. He is a former General of the Russian White Army, she a beautiful young woman, by far his junior. They fall madly in love, but the time between them are numbered. When one dies, the other discovers what true solitude.
