"Red Giselle" by Eifman (Tour at the Alexandrinsky Theatre)

The ballet Red Giselle, directed by Boris Eifman, is a powerful emotional drama brought to life on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre. This unique work is based on the fate of the great Russian ballerina Olga Spesivtseva, whose life was twisted by revolutionary upheavals, emigration and personal dramas.

The Alexandrinsky Theatre, located in the historical center of St. Petersburg, is one of the oldest and most respected theatres in Russia. Its majestic building and glorious history form the ideal stage for such a poignant performance as Red Giselle. This theatre is not only a keeper of traditions, but also a platform for innovative ideas in contemporary art.

The first act takes the audience to revolutionary Petrograd, where the ballerina is torn between the world of classical ballet and the destructive elements of the new government. The second act takes place in Paris: here the heroine tries to find herself in a foreign environment, but faces painful loneliness and internal conflicts.

This ballet is a chance to touch upon a complex historical era through the language of music and plasticity. Each spectator will feel the tragedy of the main character and think about eternal themes: love, betrayal and the search for one's own "I".
