The Ring (Russian: Ринг) is a ballet staged by choreographer Alexei Miroshnichenko and the musical group 2H Company (Ilya Baramia, Alexander Zaitsev and Mikhail Fenichev) with the participation of beatboxer Sergei Galunenko.
Pavel Gershenzon, assistant director of the Mariinsky Theater ballet troupe, recalled that the idea was discussed in a coffee shop.
[2] The 32-year-old St. Petersburg choreographer Alexey Grigorievich Miroshnichenko was responsible for the idea, choreography and production; rehearsals took place at the Perm Academic Opera and Ballet Theater named after P. I. Tchaikovsky.
Alexey also often visited the Yolochny studio and danced there to simplify the work of musicians who were not previously familiar with the art of ballet.
The text by Mikhail Fenichev, “16th floor”, was originally planned for the ballet, but was not used in it, but later it was used in the album SBPC Orchestra by the group "The Biggest Prime Number," which was released in November 2008 by the label Bullfinches.
