Choreographer Boris Eifman: "I am proud of the privilege I have today - to bring art to people of different nationalities"

The international cultural project "Russian Seasons" will be hosted by Brazil in 2024. Boris Eifman's St. Petersburg State Academic Ballet Theatre will present "Anna Karenina".

How does this ballet use choreographic language to speak to audiences from different countries about the complex themes raised by the great Russian classic Leo Tolstoy? What influence has Russia had on the choreographic tradition of the BRICS countries? And what should the audience expect from Russian Seasons?

Boris Eifman, People's Artist of Russia and Artistic Director of the Boris Eifman St Petersburg State Academic Ballet Theatre, told TV BRICS in an interview.
