Mikhail Baryshnikov (exclusive interview) by Altin Kaftira

Mr. Mikhail Baryshnikov gave this interview exclusively during the Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival in Groningen, Netherlands. In this festival Mr. Baryshnikov is performing ’In Paris’ a play from the Russian director Dmitry Krymov. It was a very special moment for me personally as Mr. Baryshnikov was my dancer idol which I have followed from the distance since when I was in the ballet school in Albania back in late ’80. The first time I had the pleasure to watch him dance live on stage was only in 2009
