Touch of Illusion is a ballet about how humans’ fears and insecurities in their own abilities often become an obstacle to the achievement of goals. To overcome internal resistance, fate sends us people and circumstances that can help to get rid of prejudice and anxiety, to awaken our resources and talents.
The history of the creation of one of the greatest musical compositions - Concerto for piano and orchestra No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninoff inspired the ballet master to create the ballet. This eternal music has become evidence of how, by defeating ourselves, we can create art of the highest class, as it happened with the great composer.
