St. Petersburg Eifman Ballet Rodin
Date: Sept 15-16 - 7:30 pm
Venue: National Center for the Performing Arts
Price: 160-880 yuan
Boris Eifman's ballet Rodin tells about the life and work of two great sculptors: Auguste Rodin and his disciple, mistress and Muse - Camille Claudel. The story of their love is truly a tragic one. For over 15 years Rodin and Claudel were one integral whole, both sensuously and creatively. The breakup of the lovers that ensued eventually was a fatal blow to the mental health of Camille leading to her tragic end. Halfforgotten, hardened, hopelessly impecunious, Camille goes mad. A paranoiac idea of a conspiracy against her being lead and inspired by Rodin himself incessantly torments the already weakened mind of the wretched woman. When she died, she was completely forgotten by all and everybody.
