‘Onegin’ is a choreographic version of A. Pushkin’s two-act novel in verse  ‘Eugene Onegin’. While preserving poetics and philosophy of Pushkin’s work  Eifman’s new ballet presents the opportunity to view the story through the eyes  of a contemporary. The production of ‘Onegin’ by Eifman Ballet Company became  one of the major events in contemporary cultural life in 2009.


Eifman’s name is always associated with most interesting experiments and  audacious interpretation of classical works; he renews and enriches the form and  the content of the contemporary ballet. The artistic images present an amalgam,  a mixture of the real and fantastic, and that causes powerful emotional  experience. The same concerns the light and the music. This time the director  brings together classical and contemporary music. The combination of P.I.  Tchaikovsky’s classical music and A. Sitkovetsky rock music make the audience  comprehend the choreographer’s message better.

Libretto


…The things took on a different look…
And a cool-headed  general…
Gathered supporters to his call…
Hastened with strength and  boldness to
See the uprising carried through.
(Chapter 10 XIII, XVI,  XVII)

BOREDOM
The illness with which he'd been  smitten
Should have been analysed when caught,
Something like spleen…or  Russia's chondria, for short;
It mastered him in slow gradation…

Yes,  spleen was waiting like a sentry,
and dutifully shared his life
just like  a shadow, or a wife.

No, nothing caused his heart to stir,
And nothing  pierced his senses' blur...
(Chapter 1 XXXVIII,  LIV)

FRIENDS
They got quite close, though wave and  stone,
And ice and fire, and prose and poem
Are not so different as they  were.
At first these differences disturbed,
They thought each other dull,  then drolly 
They rather liked each other, then…
Were soon inseparable  wholly.

Thinking himself in love a cripple, 
Onegin heard, sage-faced,  unquivering, 
The poet tell all of himself, 
In love with his own heart’s  distress…

Oh, he did love, as we already
No longer love, as only  bards’
Insane poetic souls unsteady
Condemned to love forever  are!
(Chapter 2 XIII, XIX, XX)

PROVINCIAL  DELIGHTS
O flowers, and love, and rustic leisure…
…All this has  now gone out of fashion…

So she was called Tatyana. Truly
She lacked  her sister's beauty, lacked
The rosy bloom that glowed so newly
To catch  the eye and to attract.

…by depression
Her heart had long been  overrun:
Her soul was waiting... for someone.
Tatyana now need wait no  longer.
Her eyes were opened, and she said
`This is the one!'

All  for our tender dreamy maiden
Are coloured in a single tone,
All blend into  Eugene alone.
(Chapter 1 LVI; Глава 2 II; Глава 3 VII, VIII,  IX)

DISCO
But you perhaps find no attraction
In  any picture of this kind:
For nature's unadorned reaction
As something low  and unrefined.

... we … glide on waxed parquet.
In country towns and  suchlike places
… Heeltaps, and leaps…
All of this it keeps
As fresh as  ever, for its graces
Are here untouched by fashion's reign,
Our modern  Russia's plague and bane.
(Chapter 5 III, XLII)

TATYANA'S  LETTER TO ONEGIN
… Lit by the moon.
Elbow on table, spirit  seething,
Still filled with Eugene, Tanya wrote,
And in her unconsidered  note

‘I write to you - no more confession
Is needed, nothing's left to  tell.
I know it's now in your discretion
With scorn to make my world a  hell.
But, if you've kept some faint impression
Of pity for my wretched  state,
You'll never leave me to my fate…
Why did you visit us, but  why?
Lost in our backwoods habitation
I'd not have known you, therefore  I
Would have been spared this laceration…
But who are you:
The guardian  angel of tradition,
Or some vile agent of perdition
Sent to seduce?  Resolve my doubt.
Oh, this could all be false and vain,
A sham that  trustful souls work out;
Fate could be something else again..,
Imagine it:  quite on my own
I've no one here who comprehends me,
And now a swooning  mind attends me,
Dumb I must perish, and alone.
I close. I dread to read  this page...
For shame and fear my wits are sliding...
And yet your honour  is my gage
And in it boldly I'm confiding''...
(Chapter 3 XXI,  XXXI)

ONEGIN’S REBUKE
… ‘You wrote to me, and nothing spoken
Can  disavow that.
And your sincerity of thought
Is dear to me, for it has  brought
Feeling to what had long been heartless:

‘But I was simply not  intended
For happiness -- that alien role.
Should your perfections be  expended
In vain on my unworthy soul?

But you must teach
Your heart  some self-restraint; for each
And every man won't understand it
As I  have... learn from my belief
That inexperience leads to grief.''
(Chapter  4 XII, XIV, XVI) 

TWO LOVES
From hour to hour a surer capture
For  Olga's beauty, Lensky gives
His soul to a delicious rapture
That fills him  and in which he lives.

Poor Tanya's bloom begins to languish,
And  pale, and fade without a word!
(Chapter 4 XXIV, XXV)

TATYANA’S  DREAM
Now all was still. Tatyana slept.
She dreamt of portents.
A group  of monsters round
But ever stranger and more fearful
But how she jumped,  when in this hovel
Among the guests she recognized
The man she feared and  idolized 
‘She's mine!’ Evgeny's voice of thunder
Clears in a flash the  freezing room;
Onegin takes her
Into a corner, gently makes her
Sit on  a flimsy bench, and lays
His head upon her shoulder...
(Chapter 5 X, XI,  XVI, XVII, XX)

RAGE
Between them, every topic started
Reflection or  provoked dispute:
Looked down in an access of hate,
Pouted, and swore in  furious passion
To wreak, by stirring Lensky's ire,
The best revenge one  could desire.
(Chapter 2 XV, XVI, Chapter 5 XXXI)

TATYANA’S NAME  DAY
The festal name day…
Since dawn, whole families have been  driving
Towards the Larins'
A ball: the joy of every  guest!

Revenge's hour is near, and after
Evgeny, full of inward  laughter,
Has gone to Olga…
…beginning
To talk of this and that…
All  are dumbfounded. Lensky shies
Away from trusting his own eyes…

Louder  and louder sounds the wrangle:
Eugene has caught up, quick as quick,
A  carving-knife -- and in the tangle
Lensky's thrown down. The murk is  thick
And growing thicker; then, heart-shaking,
A scream rings  out…
(Chapter 5 XLI, XXI, XXV, XXVIII, XXIX, XXX,  XXXI)

LENSKY’S DEATH
A moment earlier,  inspiration
Had filled this heart, and detestation
And hope and passion;  life had glowed
And blood had bubbled as it flowed;
But now the mansion is  forsaken;
Shutters are up, and all is pale
And still within…
(Chapter 6  XXXII)
