Overview
Rasputin premiered at the London Palladium in June 2019 as a new dance production centred on the life and mythology of Grigori Rasputin. Starring Sergei Polunin, the work combined dance, dramatic storytelling and large-scale stagecraft, alongside a newly commissioned score and bespoke haute couture costumes, to create a theatrical production with both critical profile and broad public appeal.
What We Did
In partnership with Polunin Ink, we produced and delivered the world premiere London season at the Palladium, guiding the project from development through to live performance. Our role included shaping the production framework, venue relations, marketing, PR, ticket sales and show delivery, while also helping position the production for future life beyond its London premiere through international touring strategy and follow-on planning.
