Boris Eifman is both a choreographer and a philosopher who explores the depths of human psychology through his productions. His theatre, founded in 1977 as an author’s and experimental project, revolutionized the world of ballet. Eifman boldly turns to complex literary works, translating the novels of Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov into the language of movement. His performances are not mere visualizations of classics; they are profound psychological dramas where the plasticity of the body conveys the intricate nuances of the human soul. The dancers of his theatre master both classical and contemporary techniques, achieving remarkable dramatic transformations.
