The Birth of the Eifman Ballet

Born in Siberia on the 22nd July 1946, Boris Eifman had a childhood dream of becoming a choreographer. His penchant for ballet dance is rooted in his teenage years and he still claims to stick to his childhood passion. At the age of 13, Eifman decided what he wanted from his career and enrolled in 1966 at the Leningrad Conservatory’s choreography department. In the early 1970s, Eifman grabbed attention with his critically acclaimed debut “Icarus”. The artist joined the Vaganova Academy at the Kirov Ballet School as the official choreographer and created many plays and ice shows. His sophomore performance “Gaianeh” was a phenomenal hit that also had a film version. The artist also choreographed “Fire Bird” in 1975 for the Kirov Ballet.

Originally known as the Leningrad New Ballet, The St. Petersburg Eifman Ballet was formed in 1977, as an experimental ballet theatre for choreographer Boris Eifman. The theatre was an avant-garde in the Russian dance industry and many critics were skeptical of the artist’s individualistic repertoire. A choreographic ‘dissident’, Eifman worked with literary topics, often choosing novel music and audacious dance moves. Nevertheless, the gifted artist was able to grasp the interest of his audience with his debut performances like “Icarus” and “Gaianeh”.

With more than fifty ballet performances to his credit, Eifman has revolutionized the concept of classical dance by epitomizing the expressiveness and dynamism of ballet dance. A philosophical choreographer, Eifman worries about the problems of the world today and highlights the complications and complexes of human life. His self-defined genre is the “psychological ballet” and he has been declared as one of the world’s best choreographer, as New York Times states, “The ballet world in search of a major choreographer need search no more. He is Boris Eifman.”
