Ballet by Boris Eifman to music by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. St. Petersburg Eifman Ballet production, International Chereshnevy Les Open-Art Festival presents. Adults only. Pyotr Tchaikovsky is one of Boris Eifman’s favourite composers. When he looked into the biography of Tchaikovsky and learned about the latter’s agonies of soul, which was responsible for much of the tragedy of his music, this music sounded to him in quite another way. In his ballet, Eifman wants to tell us about the hellfire that was flaming in the soul and mind of Tchaikovsky. Clear consciousness of his inner break-up and personality dissociation were the reasons for the composer’s suffering. Boris Eifman’s ballet is by no means a biography of the great composer; we can rather call it an embodiment of Tchaikovsky’s music, a symphony of passion enacted in dance.
