The Eifman Ballet continues its Shanghai run with Beyond Sin, a powerful adaptation of Dostoevsky's philosophical novel The Brothers Karamazov.

This highly-acclaimed production is known for its distinctive texture and astounding impact, offering a profound and visually stunning ballet experience.

The St. Petersburg Eifman Ballet presents Beyond Sin, an adaptation of Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov.

The Brothers Karamazov is the pinnacle of Dostoevsky's philosophical exploration. Over two decades, through observing history and pondering (repeatedly studying) the writer's great legacy, Boris Eifman has created an emotionally rich and philosophical interpretation for the ballet stage.

The ballet continues and develops the artistic characteristics of Eifman's "psychological ballet." It focuses on the conflicts between characters and is an attempt to study the moral decay of the Karamazov family. It offers an understanding of the broad, primitive nature of humanity and an interpretation of the struggles deep within the human heart and soul. It is a highly-rated stage production that questions the inheritance of base instincts and destructive emotions, akin to Dostoevsky's own explorations.
