Performer: Boris Eifman

The myth of Pygmalion and Galatea brings us back to the very start of the ballet tradition with Jean-Philippe Rameau’s one act opera-ballet of 1748.

Eifman has said he wants move dance back into theater and to use movement to explore the psychological. Both of these the company accomplishes.

Opening this short Saison Russe in Berlin is Boris Eifman’s most iconic ballet, Red Giselle, a skilful tribute of the choreographer to the great Russian ballerina Olga Spessivtseva.

TCHAIKOVSKY, PRO ET CONTRA is a ballet by Boris Eifman that beautifully examines how Tchaikovsky's internal struggles inspired his amazing music that inspires still.

Eifman Ballet is back in London with Boris Eifman's latest ballet, Up and Down 

The energy exuded from The Eifman Ballet in Rodin was enough to light – and keep burning – the Olympic torch. At the Alexandrinsky Theatre, St Petersburg.
