Premiere of the ballet "The Pygmalion Effect" at the Alexandrinsky Theatre: philosophy and choreography by Boris Eifman
The ballet "The Pygmalion Effect" from the Boris Eifman Ballet Theatre invites viewers to the Alexandrinsky Theatre, where classical art meets modern philosophical reflections. This work, created by the master of choreography Boris Eifman, is an original interpretation of the famous myth about a sculptor who fell in love with his own creation. The plot centers on the story of a successful ballroom dancer who decides to turn a simple girl from the city's lower classes into a virtuoso artist.
The production is accompanied by music by Johann Strauss Jr., whose works Boris Eifman uses for the first time. This gives the performance a special atmosphere, where waltz rhythms emphasize the inner transformation of the main character. The Pygmalion Effect ballet explores the psychological phenomenon that the expectations of others can significantly influence a person’s personal development and success.
The Alexandrinsky Theatre, renowned for its historical significance and architectural beauty, provides the perfect venue for this story to unfold. Spectators will be able to enjoy not only the unique choreography, but also the atmosphere of one of the most prestigious theatres in St. Petersburg.
