Rodin at Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall

Since 1977, Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg has been exploring the depths of the human psyche through dance. Fueled by the artistic vision of choreographer-philosopher Boris Eifman, the company presents mesmerizing physical virtuosity while delving into the mysteries of creativity, torment and genius.

This season Eifman Ballet showcases Rodin, an expedition set at the crossroads of passion and insanity, based on the turbulent relationship between famed French sculptor Auguste Rodin and his mistress fellow artist and muse, Camille Claudel. Dancers inhabit the sensuality of shape and form as this tumultuous story unfolds, becoming sculpted works of art and masses of clay. The production is set to the coloristic music of Rodin’s fellow Parisians.
