Mata Hari

Directed by Jeff Tudor and Ted Brandsen

With Anna Tsygankova, Casey Herd, Jozef Varga, Artur Shesterikov and Young Gyu Choi

The turbulent life of the Dutch spy and dancer Mata Hari is at the heart of this large-scale ballet production by Dutch National Ballet. As the exotic, mysterious Mata Hari, she became one of the most famous dancers of her day. She travelled throughout Europe and had a network of lovers everywhere, which made her an ideal spy during World War I. She was accused – rightly or wrongly – of being a double agent, and she died in front of a French firing squad in 1917.
