In this performance, Boris Eifman turns to the comedy genre for the first time, adding elements of tragicomedy. He finds inspiration in the world's cultural heritage and offers his ballet interpretation of the famous story about a sculptor who falls in love with his own statue. The main character, a ballet dancer, decides to turn an awkward girl from the lower classes into a talented artist. The entire transformation process takes place to the music of Johann Strauss the Son, which makes the performance even more exciting.

Boris Eifman takes the name of the ballet, “The Pygmalion Effect,” from psychology, where it means the influence of expectations on reality. This phenomenon allows a person considered talented by others to feel self-confident and achieve success. Eifman explores the flexibility of personality, its ability to change in accordance with expectations and dreams, and conveys this in his performance.

The event will take place at the Tatar Academic State Opera and Ballet Theater named after M. Jalil, which is one of the most prestigious venues in the city. Here spectators will be able to enjoy a high level of performance, beautiful scenery and costumes, as well as excellent acoustics.
