About
BROTHERS KARAMAZOV at Eifman Ballet in Saint Petersburg
The Brothers Karamazov is the epitome of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s creative work, the acme of the philosophic investigation carried out by this colossal and restless mind throughout his life. World renowned choreographer Boris Eifman offers a remarkable vision of the core ideas within the novel, expanding upon them though body language as a way of exploring the origins of the moral devastation of the Karamazovs; creating through choreographic art an equivalent of what Dostoyevsky investigated so masterfully in his book, the excruciating burden of destructive passions and evil heredity.
Text by Tatiana Boborykina. Presented in Russian w/ English subtitles.
“Of the ballet choreographers making narrative works for major stages, Russian Romantic Boris Eifman is virtually the only one totally in touch with the 21st century… Eifman outpaces the zeitgeist” – Los Angeles Times
“The ballet world in search of a major choreographer need search no more. He is Boris Eifman…” – The New York Times
