Overview

Located in a magnificent historic 18th-century building in the very heart of St Petersburg, the Alexandrinsky Theatre welcomes audiences to the ballet Ten Little Signs of Sin. As part of Dance Open, one of Europe’s leading ballet festivals, Ten Little Signs of Sin offers a rare opportunity to experience contemporary choreography at the highest level — within the grand architectural setting of the Alexandrinsky Theatre, where history and modern artistic vision meet.

Premiere in Russia

Zoltán Fodor’s production is inspired by the cult bestseller And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (originally published as Ten Little Niggers). At its core lies the concept of sin as a moral dilemma, explored through ten symbolic figures. The original plot revolves around a series of impeccably planned and cold-bloodedly executed crimes.

The protagonists of this choreographic detective story are at once executioners and victims. Yet all of them are ordinary people who have, willingly or unwillingly, committed something irreparable—deeds that remained undiscovered by justice and unpunished. We inevitably find ourselves asking: who is truly guilty, and who is the real victim?

In this surreal production, hidden secrets intertwine: crimes against individuals—or against all humanity—are committed right before our eyes. We see the signs of sin, yet everything proves futile: we are either powerless or choose inaction, while the guilty go unnoticed and continue living as if nothing had happened.

Venue Info

Alexandrinsky Theatre - Saint Petersburg
Ostrovsky Square 6

Rising gracefully on Ostrovsky Square in the heart of Saint Petersburg, the Alexandrinsky Theatre is one of Russia’s oldest and most prestigious dramatic stages. Founded in 1756 by decree of Empress Elizabeth, it is regarded as the cradle of Russian professional theatre and a living monument to the country’s artistic heritage.

The theatre’s magnificent Empire-style building, designed by architect Carlo Rossi, is itself a masterpiece. Its grand colonnade and harmonious proportions reflect the elegance of imperial Saint Petersburg, while the richly adorned auditorium preserves the atmosphere of 19th-century theatrical splendor. Yet behind this historic façade beats a boldly contemporary artistic heart.

For more than two centuries, the Alexandrinsky stage has hosted the premieres of landmark works by Russian playwrights, including Gogol, Ostrovsky, and Turgenev. It has been home to legendary actors and visionary directors who shaped the evolution of Russian drama. Today, the theatre continues this tradition by combining classical repertoire with innovative productions, experimental staging, and international collaborations.

Under modern artistic leadership, the Alexandrinsky Theatre balances reverence for tradition with a search for new theatrical language. Audiences can experience everything from timeless Russian classics to daring contemporary interpretations, all performed by a distinguished ensemble known for its depth, precision, and emotional power.

A visit to the Alexandrinsky Theatre is more than an evening at the playhouse — it is an encounter with the history, architecture, and living spirit of Russian theatre.

Historic grandeur, artistic excellence, and fearless creativity — the Alexandrinsky Theatre remains a symbol of Saint Petersburg’s cultural brilliance.
