Nureyev's Eyes
by David Rush

Directed by Kerrigan Sullivan 

During the l970's the American painter Jamie Wyeth (son of Andrew) created a series of works about the dancer Rudolf Nureyev.  Nureyev's Eyes imagines what their encounters may have been like, how their relationship evolved, and how they changed each other. When Wyeth meets Nureyev at a party and decides to paint him, he first has to overcome the dancer's reluctance, and then has to deal with Nureyev's explosive personality. 
Featuring Matt Bloch and Dean Knight. Narrated by Sarah Legere.

Thursday, June 28th at 7:30pm
