Ballet "The Pygmalion Effect" at the Alexandrinsky Theatre: Psychological Depth and Grace

The Alexandrinsky Theatre, one of the most important cultural centres of St. Petersburg, is hosting the ballet "The Pygmalion Effect" directed by Boris Eifman. This event attracts the attention of art lovers thanks to the master's unique approach to the classical plot. Eifman, known for his deep psychological research, presents the audience with a tragicomedy interpretation of the story of a sculptor who fell in love with his creation.

The performance is centered on the story of transformation, where a successful ballroom dancer strives to turn an awkward girl into an outstanding artist. The musical accompaniment of the ballet is made up of works by Johann Strauss Jr., which gives the production a special atmosphere of lightness and grace. This is Eifman's first experience working with the music of the "waltz king", which makes the performance especially interesting for connoisseurs of his work.

The title of the ballet refers to the psychological phenomenon known as the "Pygmalion effect", which describes the influence of expectations on reality. Eifman masterfully reveals this theme, showing how faith in a person's abilities can change his destiny.

You can visit this exciting event in the historical interior of the Alexandrinsky Theater, where each spectator will be able to enjoy the beauty and depth of the production.
