Performance "Crime and Punishment" by Eifman

Please note that the cast may change.

Director: Boris Eifman

The ballet "Crime and Punishment" (B. Eifman Ballet Theater) will be held on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg.

The premiere of Eifman's ballet took place in the fall, and continues to collect full houses. It is understandable - with each of his works, the great choreographer again and again reveals to the audience a completely new, previously unseen ballet.

With difficult to perceive music by G. Mahler and B. Tishchenko, a rather gloomy design, an atmosphere oversaturated with emotions, the novel of the great Russian classic unfolds with the amazing plasticity of the dancers on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theater. In Eifman's interpretation, "Crime and Punishment" turned out to be a dark psychological drama about the search for God.

Tickets for the ballet "Crime and Punishment" are a meeting with Eifman's signature picture with laconic decorations, stunning lighting, incredibly expressive soloists. Everything here is captivating, mesmerizing, hypnotizing. Vladimir Afonichkin plays the role of Raskolnikov amazingly, and the representative of the older generation of the troupe Dmitry Fisher, who plays the investigator Porfiry Petrovich, is absolutely incomparable. The duel between Raskolnikov and Porfiry Petrovich is very inventive, emotions are off the scale! The internal struggle of Rodion Raskolnikov's ideas found an interesting embodiment in the duet of Raskolnikov with his alter ego - Eifman introduced such a fashionable solution with doubles into his ballet completely justifiably, the classics - thanks to this move - sound even deeper and more multi-layered. The male images turned out to be very expressive, complex, but it is also worth noting the very bright performance of Sonya (Lyubov Andreeva) and the old woman-pawnbroker (Polina Pavlenko), whose plasticity is grotesque and threatening. Everything in the performance is very organic: the set design, and the successful costumes, and the lighting. This ability to work with props and space is also Eifman's calling card. Petersburg, its courtyards-wells, are staircases in semi-dark front doors, a lot of gloomy yellow - all according to Fyodor Mikhailovich. There will be no rays of light in this dark kingdom, the heroes will have to suffer, suffer, forgive and say goodbye. You want to sympathize with the poor student, then condemn and blame him, and all his torments are experienced by everyone sitting in the auditorium - such an Eifman Dostoevsky, whose works have survived centuries and continue to remain relevant.
