Boris Eifman’s ballet Anna Karenina is a true burst of inner psychological energy and is amazingly precise in delivering emotional impact upon its viewers. The choreographer focused on the love triangle "Anna – Karenin – Vronsky" by setting aside all secondary storylines in Leo Tolstoy's novel. Using dance language, Boris Eifman portrayed the drama of a woman being reborn in his ballet. According to the choreographer, it is love and passion, the "basic instinct", which has led the heroine to breach the then-current social morality norms. A woman is completely consumed and crushed by passion, ready for any sacrifice. Eifman believes that the emotions in the ballet transcend time and space and echo with reality, and even modern audiences will find resonance in them.
