The Pygmalion Effect (B. Eifman Ballet Theater) in Saint Petersburg, Александринский театр

Please note that the cast may change.

Director: Boris Eifman.

The ballet "The Pygmalion Effect" from the Boris Eifman Ballet Theater invites viewers to the Alexandrinsky Theater, where the story of transformation and love comes to life. This work, inspired by the music of Johann Strauss Jr., is Boris Eifman's first experience in the tragicomedy genre in recent years. The choreographer, known for his deep and emotional productions, offers a fresh take on the classic story of a sculptor in love with his creation.

The ballet centers on the story of a successful ballroom dancer who strives to transform a simple girl from the city's lower classes into a virtuoso artist. To the sounds of Strauss's waltzes, the heroine goes through an internal and external transformation, discovering new facets of her talent and character. This production becomes a unique opportunity to see how the choreographer works with the works of the "waltz king" for the first time, adding his own unique style and energy to them.

The Alexandrinsky Theater, with its historical atmosphere and excellent acoustics, becomes an ideal venue for this ballet. Spectators will be able to enjoy not only the skill of the dancers, but also be imbued with the spirit of the era, which comes to life on stage.
