In the first of many duets, Oleg Markov swings Zmievets from side to side, holds her dramatically aloft and launches her into splashy split jetés, to which she responds with wild eyes, outreaching arms and violent stomach contractions.
 Technically it’s impressive, in a manic kind of way; Zmievets and Markov are evidently superbly trained dancers.
