Photo: Marie Tomanova Dasha Nekrasova is hungry, and she’s not interested in patiently waiting her turn. It’s after 3 p.m. on a Sunday, but the West Village restaurant Bar Pitti, where she has asked to meet me — it’s not so far from her apartment — is still swarmed by brunchers. So she suggests Fanelli Cafe, the Soho see-and-be-seen stalwart, on the other side of NYU territory.
Nekrasova is a child of showbiz. She was born in 1991 in Minsk, just as the old Soviet Union collapsed. Her father was an acrobat with the Moscow Circus and her mother a gymnast. When she was 3, her father got a job with Cirque du Soleil. “I spent a lot of time in greenrooms as a child. We moved a lot. We lived in Atlantic City and then back to Vegas,” she says, impatient with my attempts to find meaning in her past.
“I know people remark on my nonchalance in the clip,” she says. “But I think I was really just sublimating a ton of tension and fear.” They’re certainly nothing like the short-haired middle-aged women Nekrasova glances at, at the table behind us, passing around a Simone de Beauvoir book from McNally Jackson. “Oh, wow. We have some bibliophiles in our midst,” Nekrasova says archly. An n+1 columnist once described her voice as the “world-weary drone of post-ironic predisappointment … the voice of a generation — in tone at least.”
