Boris Eifman's Anna Karenina ballet is full of inner psychological energy and surprisingly accurate in its emotional impact. After removing all the minor lines of Lev Tolstoy’s novel, the choreographer focused on the love triangle Anna-Karenin-Vronsky.

In her performance, with the plasticity of her body, Eifman conveyed the drama of a reborn woman. According to the choreographer, it was the “basic instinct” that passion led to a crime against social norms, destroyed maternal love and destroyed Anna Karenina’s inner world. The woman, absorbed and crushed by sensual attraction, is ready to make any sacrifices.

The highest level performing technique of the troupe and choreography of Boris Eifman convey all the psychological peripetias of Tolstoy’s novel.
