The Ballet «The Pygmalion Effect» — a Production by Boris Eifman in Moscow
On the stage of the Stanislavsky Theatre in Moscow, the ballet «The Pygmalion Effect» by the Boris Eifman Ballet Theatre is presented. The performance takes place at 17 Bolshaya Dmitrovka Street Холand stands out for its distinctive genre approach within the choreographer’s repertoire.
A Story of Personal Transformation
The production is based on the myth of Pygmalion, interpreted in a contemporary context. The main character is a successful dancer who decides to radically change the fate of a young woman from the social margins, transforming her into a professional performer. This path of transformation becomes a test for both characters.
The Musical Dramaturgy of the Performance
The choreography is set to works by Johann Strauss II. The music of the “Waltz King” lends the action lightness and irony, contrasting with the inner dramatic tension of the plot. For Boris Eifman, this is his first experience working with this composer, which makes the production particularly expressive.
The Psychological and Philosophical Context
The title of the ballet refers to the concept of the “Pygmalion effect,” known in psychology as the influence of expectations on a person’s behavior and success. The production explores the limits of human influence, showing how belief and pressure can shape an individual and alter their destiny.
