SOCHI, July 10, Andrey Simonenko. Olympic champion in women's figure skating Russian Anna Shcherbakova called her new program, staged to the verses of Bulat Okudzhava, joint work with choreographer Ilya Averbukh. In July, Shcherbakova takes part in Averbukh's Champions show. One of the programs performed by the figure skater is set to the poem «Prayer» by Bulat Okudzhava. «This is the idea of Ilya Averbukh. He let me listen to the music, told the concept of the number, and I immediately liked it very much. This is a very deep number, with meaning. «I also took part, I said that, as it seems to me, it would be better. He listened to me, so we got a joint work. Our vision of the performance coincided in many respects. We tried to put meaning into every movement — in the same way, how the meaning is embedded in every word. How I see it, how Ilya sees it. I hope no one will remain indifferent after our number — and feel that we have invested in it, and see something of their own in it, «said Shcherbakova in interview.
