The ballet Crime and Punishment at the Alexandrinsky Theatre: philosophy and drama in motion

The ballet Crime and Punishment, created by Boris Eifman based on the novel of the same name by F. M. Dostoevsky, comes to life again on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre. This performance immerses the viewer in the deep philosophical and emotional world of the work, exploring the complex internal conflicts of the characters. The musical accompaniment, recorded by the Governor's Symphony Orchestra of St. Petersburg under the direction of Anton Lubchenko, creates an atmosphere that enhances the drama of the events.

Eifman, as always, does not simply illustrate the text, but creates his own interpretation, exploring the nature of the human soul and moral guidelines. The focus is on Rodion Raskolnikov, whose internal turmoil and struggle with his own theory of the "right" to commit a crime become the basis for the dance interpretation. Costumes by Olga Shaishmelashvili and sets by Zinovy ​​Margolin, combined with lighting design by Gleb Filshtinsky and Boris Eifman, enhance the visual experience.

The Alexandrinsky Theatre, renowned for its historical traditions and rich cultural programme, provides an ideal venue for this production. Spectators will be able to enjoy not only the skill of the dancers, but also the unique atmosphere of the theatre, which is itself part of the cultural heritage of St. Petersburg.
