"The Magic Dancer" - A poetic, almost surreal text, that somewhat breathes Lorca. A unique lyrical universe.
"The action of committing suicide" - is the most extreme action that somebody can do to themselves. High places to jump from: windows, abysses, edges. A strong place that takes the body to hang the rope. Any accumulation of water: the sea, a river, a lake. A body meets in a place with some tools + the will of being dead.

The Brothers Karamazov novel is the epitome of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s creative work, the acme of the philosophic investigation carried out by this colossal and restless mind throughout his life. World renowned choreographer Boris Eifman offers a remarkable vision of the core ideas within the novel, expanding upon them though body language as a way of exploring the origins of the moral devastation of the Karamazovs; creating through choreographic art an equivalent of what Dostoyevsky investigated so masterfully in his book, the excruciating burden of destructive passions and evil heredity. This ballet production is also known and performed as Beyond Sin.
