Boris Eifman's unique ballet "Rodin, Her Eternal Idol" at the Alexandrinsky Theatre
From July 7 to 13, the legendary Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg will host Boris Eifman's unique ballet "Rodin, Her Eternal Idol". This performance is dedicated to the fate and work of the great sculptors Auguste Rodin and his student, lover and muse Camille Claudel.
The ballet tells the tragic story of love and work of two outstanding artists. For 15 years, Rodin and Claudel were inseparable, creating masterpieces of world sculpture together. However, their breakup was fatal for Camille, leading her to spiritual collapse and a life of poverty. She spent the last 30 years of her life in a mental hospital, where she died in 1943, forgotten by everyone.
The performance "Rodin, Her Eternal Idol" is not just a ballet, but a profound creative statement about the tragic life path of geniuses.
