Boris Eifman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boris Eifman (1926-) is a prolific choreographer associated with the Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg. He is known for his dark portrayals of anguished sexuality and extreme psychological states. The company frequently tours abroad, and has been economically successful. While some critics have received his work positively,[1] other responses, especially on the U.S. East Coast, have been derisive, with one critic describing his Anna Karenina as "yet another schlock epic from the world's most overrated choreographer,"[2] and another writing that "some scenes look like unintentionally hilarious parodies of bad ballet."[3]
