New Ballets for a New Century

Boris Eifman’s St. Petersburg Ballet company has completed its final series of rehearsals of “Monsieur Moliere and Don Juan” (right). Eifman choreographed the ballet in which he uses  the French playwright Moliere as a pretext to talk about the destinies of great artists. The ballet will premiere in May in New York (see Events Calendar), the city which once proclaimed Eifman “choreographer of the 21st century.”
