Director: Boris Eifman.
The ballet "The Pygmalion Effect" from the Boris Eifman Ballet Theatre invites viewers to the Alexandrinsky Theatre for a unique journey into the world of dance and psychology. This performance, created by the recognized master of choreography Boris Eifman, is the first attempt in recent years by the choreographer to turn to the tragicomedy genre.
Inspired by the world's cultural heritage, Eifman offers viewers a ballet interpretation of the classic story about a sculptor who falls in love with his statue. However, in this performance, the role of the creator is assigned to a successful ballroom dancer who decides to turn a simple girl from the lower classes into a virtuoso artist. The heroine's transformation takes place to the music of Johann Strauss Jr., which adds a special atmosphere and depth to the production.
The ballet's title is related to the psychological phenomenon known as the "Pygmalion effect," which describes how expectations can influence reality. Eifman explores how a person's perception of others can change their own perception of themselves and lead to success.
The Alexandrinsky Theater, a venue with a rich history and magnificent architecture, will be the perfect venue for this spectacular performance.
