Description

Twenty eight years ago, a ballet troupe with an intriguing name of “The New Ballet” presented its first performance – which completely justified its name. In the stagnant creative atmosphere of Russia in the 1970s, works by Boris Eifman – the founder and Artistic Director of “The New Ballet” – were like a breath of fresh air. Eifman’s combination of relevant themes and deep psychological perception, philosophical ideas and fiery passions, audacity of movement vocabulary and clarity of dramatic intent were highly unusual for that time. Even more remarkable was the artists’ level of commitment. The creation of a ballet troupe dedicated to performing works by one choreographer only was a unique phenomenon in itself.

Tickets available at the Box Office at 158 Irines Street.
