Experience the brilliance of Boris Eifman, one of the leading choreographers of our time, as he reimagines Dostoevsky’s legendary novel through dance. Eifman’s The Brothers Karamazov delves into the timeless themes of passion, morality, and human turmoil, brought vividly to life through a powerful fusion of classical ballet, modern movement, and dramatic storytelling.

This intense and philosophically charged ballet probes the psychological depths of the Karamazov family—exploring moral collapse, spiritual struggle, and the torment of inherited sin. With a musical score featuring Sergei Rachmaninoff, Richard Wagner, and Modest Mussorgsky, the production is a feast for the senses.

The performance will be shown in Russian with English subtitles, and runs approximately 1 hour and 26 minutes (no intermission).

Critics worldwide praise Boris Eifman’s visionary approach:
“The ballet world in search of a major choreographer need search no more. He is Boris Eifman.” – The New York Times
“Of the ballet choreographers making narrative works for major stages, Russian Romantic Boris Eifman is virtually the only one totally in touch with the 21st century…” – Los Angeles Times

This is a rare opportunity for Houston audiences to engage with the dramatic genius of Russian literature and ballet in one unforgettable evening. Journalists, art lovers, and cultural explorers are warmly invited to attend.
