Eifman

Oooh, and on Saturday I got to see "Eugene Onegin" performed in Berkley by Eifman ballet. I was very skeptical at the beginning, because it's modernized ballet and I've never seen a good one from that kind. However, after the first 10min of the performance, all my skepticism has evaporated and then I was just hoping that the dancers would never stop. In all the movements of the dancers there was something so sensual, so candid, that I felt like we, the audience, were almost intruding in their life. 

The choreographer is just brilliant! I didn't think that without the classical moves of the ballet one could make such an enchanting performances. Oh well, in cases like this I'm always glad to admit that I was wrong in my assumptions :) 

It was sad to leave the theater though, because everything there was so magical and the world outside was more trivial. I should learn to make magic myself - there's the plan!
