Unrepentant Mistaken Love, Pursuing True Self

Internationally renowned ballet master Boris Eifman transforms the turbulent love triangle tragedy from Tolstoy's masterpiece into a mesmerizing artistic gem on stage. Anna Karenina is a model of a modern woman in literature. Born into high society and living within moral constraints, she is entangled between her prestigious official husband and a dissolute lover. She ultimately chooses to break free from the shackles of morality and public opinion, remaining true to her heart's desire. Though the story ends in tragedy, it inspired the trend of women's liberation.

High-Difficulty Psychological and Movement Portrayal

Tolstoy's grand epic story, in the hands of Eifman who excels in 'psychological dance drama,' focuses on the inner worlds of the protagonists. From desire and passion to abandonment, isolation, and desperate self-destruction, each scene of scorching love and internal struggle is perfectly manifested and elevated through Eifman's intense and groundbreaking choreography. The exceptionally skilled ballet dancers express the characters' complex emotions through nearly impossible, high-difficulty movements, leaving the audience dazzled and enchanted. Accompanied by Tchaikovsky's heart-stirring music, the intensely turbulent emotions resonate powerfully with the audience.

The Pinnacle of Russian Contemporary Ballet

Founded in 1977, the St. Petersburg Eifman Ballet is one of Russia's most successful ballet companies. Eifman's works have opened up new body language and narrative methods for classical ballet. His emotionally rich and imaginative choreography delves deep into the soul and thoughts of the characters, earning high regard in dance circles worldwide. The company has performed globally. This time, Macau audiences will witness the most emotionally profound masterpiece by this ballet master, hailed as the best embodiment of the 'Russian soul,' and see the great literary heroine reborn magnificently on stage.
