The Pygmalion Effect

The Pygmalion Effect
Ballet
The Pygmalion Effect is Boris Eifman's first work in the genre of comedy (or, more accurately, tragicomedy) in recent years – the form the choreographer has perfected.
Once again finding inspiration in the world's cultural heritage, Eifman offers his audience a ballet interpretation of the archetypical story of Pygmalion, the sculptor who fell in love with his creation, a statue of a beautiful young woman. In the ballet storyline, the role of the fierce creator is taken by a successful ballroom dancer who resolves to "sculpt" a virtuoso performer from a clumsy ordinary girl. The internal and external transformation of the heroine is accompanied by the background music of Johann Strauss the Son. This is the first time choreographer works with the music of the "Waltz King" in his prolific creative career.
In this production, Eifman presents a comprehensive artistic and philosophical portrayal of a human personality's remarkable flexibility and ability to undergo an unpredicted change in response to set aims and aspirations.
