Eifman Gala: A Dazzling Universe of Movement and Light
Discover the fascinating world of an outstanding choreographer whose works are often described as “psychological ballet.” This master, recognized as one of the leading figures in contemporary dance, will open new dimensions of choreographic art before you. The Kremlin Palace, renowned for its majestic atmosphere and historical significance, is the perfect venue to present the works of Boris Eifman. This landmark in the heart of Russia has hosted the greatest artists from around the world, and every appearance on its stage is a symbol of the highest recognition. Audiences are guaranteed an unforgettable experience: the palace’s acoustics and sightlines allow you to enjoy every movement of the complex choreography and to feel the full range of emotions expressed through dance.
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.
The program “Eifman-Gala” embodies the very essence of the master’s art. Buy tickets for the Boris Eifman Ballet Theatre gala concert “Eifman-Gala” now on our website. The audience will be treated to scenes from the theatre’s most acclaimed productions that have brought it international fame. The two-act program includes excerpts from such ballets as “Anna Karenina,” “Rodin, Her Eternal Idol,” “Beyond Sin” (based on The Brothers Karamazov), “Tchaikovsky. PRO et CONTRA,” “Russian Hamlet,” and “Molière Passion, or The Mask of Don Juan.” This carefully curated dramaturgy will allow dance connoisseurs to trace the artistic evolution of the theatre and its rise to one of the world’s leading ballet companies.
Each piece of the gala concert is a universe of passion, energy, and profound meaning. Eifman’s ballet not only inspires admiration for the dancers’ mastery but also invites introspection. “Eifman-Gala” at the Kremlin is a rare opportunity to experience the art of a true genius and feel the magic of his theatre — an unforgettable aesthetic journey that will stay with you for years to come.
