The leading role is performed by the famous Russian dancer, world celebrity Sergei Polunin. He said that he was glad that the premiere of Rasputin will be held in Moscow. The dancer said that the performance would have a great touring fate. Russian figure skater, Olympic champion Elena Ilinykh will play the role of Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna. Famous ballet artists from Denmark and Serbia will also perform.

The choreography of the performance was staged by Yuka Oishi from Japan. According to her, while working on the story about Grigory Rasputin, she changed her mind about this historical figure, around which there are many unreliable rumors.

The performance begins with a story about the appearance of Grigori Rasputin in the royal family, and ends with a story about its decline and the end of the monarchy in Russia.
