In the novel one will be immersed into the psychological world of the chief character and also a psycho-erotic interpretation of her personality. While reading Tolstoy, one can see how fully and intimately the author understands the inner world and psychology of his heroes, how keenly and precisely he describes the life in Russia. The Anna Karenina novel by Tolstoy has always been the object of my keen interest. Every new production is a search for the unknown. “Ballet is a very specific realm where psychological drama is reenacted and fulfilled it is an opportunity to get an insight into the subconscious. The brilliant technical mastery of the Company’s dancers and Boris Eifman’s astounding choreography present to us in a remarkably impressive way all the aspects and peripeteias of the Tolstoy’s novel. The choreographer says that his ballet speaks not of previous times but of today: the timeless emotional content of the performance and obvious parallels to reality can’t leave the contemporary viewer indifferent. Being so completely consumed and crushed by passion, a woman is ready for any sacrifice. According to the choreographer, it is the love passion, the “basic instinct” which has led the heroine to the breach of the then current norms of social morality, killed motherly love in Anna Karenina and destroyed her inner world. Using dance language, Boris Eifman in his ballet managed to portray the drama of a woman being reborn. By setting aside all secondary storylines in Leo Tolstoy’s novel, the choreographer focused on the love triangle “Anna – Karenin – Vronsky”. Boris Eifman’s ballet Anna Karenina is a true burst of inner psychological energy and is amazingly precise in delivering emotional impact upon its viewers.
