About this event
The Pygmalion Effect is a ballet by Boris Eifman that adapts the Pygmalion story as a tragicomic and psychologically focused work. A successful ballroom dancer attempts to shape a clumsy common girl into a virtuoso performer. The production treats transformation as both physical and psychological, exploring how expectations can influence achievement. Sets are by Zinovy Margolin, costumes by Olga Shaishmelashvili, and lighting by Alexander Sivaev and Boris Eifman. Music is credited to Johann Strauss the Son. The UltraStar presentation is a filmed ballet with a duration of 1 hour and 25 minutes.
