"Vain Precaution" - one of the oldest ballet titles. The play, which is the original name of «La Fille mal garde» in a literal translation means "Poor prismotrennaya daughter" was first staged in Bordeaux 1 July 1789 by the French choreographer Jean Debervalem. Since then, at whatever stage and in which time does not appear this ballet, he has always had full houses. And all because this story is not about what some enchanted princes and princesses, but about ordinary people like you and me, that always captivates the audience. Curiously, it is the only extant classical ballet, in which the characters were contemporaries viewers opening night.
This kind, charming and humanly touching story simply can not remain indifferent. The main ballet Lisa and Colin characters are in love with each other, fighting bravely with all the circumstances that hinder their happiness, and, of course, win.

In Yekaterinburg Viharev set a new stage version "Vain precaution", based on fragments of the reconstructed choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov 1880s found them in the archives at Harvard University.
Set design for a new play created by the main artist of the Bolshoi Theater Russia Alona Pikalova based on paintings by Vincent Van Gogh. "In our view, no better and brighter Van Gogh depicted not the south of France, where there are ballet steps, so we thought it appropriate to make use of his work, inspired by his work", - said S. Viharev at a meeting with journalists.
On the other sketches by the artist of the Bolshoi Theater - Elena Zaitseva - the premiere sewn over a hundred costumes that theater masters of hand-painted in a recognizable manner and palette famous postimpressionist.

Artistic director of the ballet of Yekaterinburg Theater Vyacheslav Samodurov called the project megainteresnym, does not look like one of those that did before: "On the one hand, it is a reconstruction of an old ballet, and on the other hand - a new look at how the ballet classics can be recreated today "- he said.
