| Insanity, sexual deviance, and emotional torment are just some of the afflictions that plague the characters of Boris Eifman's ballets, which center on the inner lives of historical and literary personages from Tehaikovsky to Anna Karenina. And it is, I guess, in the sense that Anna Karenina is a meditation on the power of locomotives in czarist Russia. An appealing touch was a link called "Classics," where you can read excerpts from Oblomov, Fathers and Sons, A Hero of Our Time, Anna Karenina, The Brothers Karamazov, Dead Souls, and Arkady Averchenko's "A Poem About a Hungry Man. |
