Performance "Crime and Punishment" by Eifman

Please note that the cast may change.

Director: Boris Eifman

The ballet Crime and Punishment by the Boris Eifman Ballet Theatre is not just a choreographic interpretation of Dostoevsky’s classic novel, but a profound philosophical study of human nature and morality. This performance, which can be seen within the historic walls of the Alexandrinsky Theatre, invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world of complex internal conflicts and moral dilemmas that are still relevant today.

Boris Eifman, known for his unique approach to literary masterpieces, does not simply transfer the plot to the stage, but reveals the deep ideas of the work. Crime and Punishment is not an illustration of a textbook text, but an attempt to answer eternal questions about good and evil, law and justice through dance. Each character in this ballet is a whole world filled with passions and metaphysical contradictions.

The Alexandrinsky Theatre, where this exciting performance will take place, is itself a symbol of Russia’s cultural heritage. Its majestic architecture and rich history create the perfect setting for a production that promises to be a real event in the world of art.

The plot centers on Rodion Raskolnikov, a young man whose ideas about the right of the strong to commit crimes for the sake of a higher goal lead him to tragic consequences. Boris Eifman shows through dance how inner torment and a clash with reality lead the hero to spiritual rebirth. An important role in this transformation is played by Sonya Marmeladova, whose sacrificial love becomes Raskolnikov's salvation.
