In Eifman’s productions, the costumes are sumptuous, the dancing is exquisite, and the drama is riveting—here, the company dances a brand-new ballet inspired by Greek myth Pygmalion, set to a score by Johan Strauss, Jr. “...this Russian dancemaker and his dancers are among the most fascinating artists before the public today”(San Francisco Chronicle).
