About event
Boris Eifman's ballet "Russian Hamlet" to the music of L. Beethoven and G. Mahler, dedicated to the figure of Paul I, will be presented at the Shandong Grand Theater. The choreographic production focuses on the period of succession of Paul I, depicting his internal struggle in a world full of violence and lies. Eifman masterfully conveys the tragic confrontation of this extraordinary personality with a hostile environment.
«Russian Hamlet» was successfully demonstrated in various countries, including the USA, France, Italy, Germany and China. Critics praised the emotional intensity and stage metaphors of the play. Anna Kisselgoff and Clive Barnes noted his primacy in modern ballet, and The New York Times called Boris Eifman a choreographer with a gift for electrifying images and theatrical fantasies.
In the 40th anniversary season, the Eifman Theater revives “Russian Hamlet”, updating the choreographic score. The plot outline remains unchanged, but the choreography becomes even more refined and emotionally rich. This allows viewers to once again enjoy a unique creation that has already gained recognition on the international stage.
