The ballet is dedicated to the fate of the great sculptors Auguste Rodin and his pupil, lover, and muse, Camille Claudel. The narrative delves into the full depth of their passionate 15-year romance, painful separation, and the subsequent crisis that led Camille to emotional breakdown. Her mind, weakened by mental illness, is incessantly tormented by suspicions and fears, gradually plunging her into an abyss of despair.
Their relationship was fraught with conflicting emotions: passion alternated with hatred, hope with despair, ecstasy with jealousy. These intense emotions, which simultaneously destroyed and inspired them, became the source for creating immortal masterpieces. Their bond reflects the unique phenomenon of love-hate, love-madness, love-destruction.
In the ballet, the artists express these states of mind through their bodies, animating the static sculptures of Rodin and Claudel. The dance conveys profound human feelings: passion, inner conflict, suffering, and pain. A distinctive feature of the production lies in Boris Eifman’s mastery, having created scenes that precisely replicate the sculptor’s famous compositions through the brilliantly honed movements of the artists and the unique movement vocabulary of contemporary choreographic art. «Rodin, Her Eternal Idol» is not merely a performance; it is a grand artistic statement about genius, passion, and the tragedy of solitude.
