The most loyal fans of the performance come back to experience this miracle created by A. Cholina again and again, some even for the fifth or sixth time.When writing the novel "Anna Karenina", L. Tolstoy spoke for the first time about a woman's right to happiness and personal choice, and that a woman should not become an instrument of a man's self-love and satisfaction, which was a big eyesore in the conservative and patriarchal European society at that time. Therefore, it is not surprising that the author predicted such a dramatic end for the main heroine who resisted society, which forever entered the history of literature, cinematography and theater and which still inspires creators of different genres all over the world. Even today, almost 150 years after the publication of the novel, the story of Anna Karenina is understood everywhere, it is universal, it evokes strong emotions, and thanks to the choreographer A. Cholina, this story was revived in a dance drama that captivated thousands of viewers."When I met Beata Molytė, the ballet soloist of the Klaipėda Music Theater, I realized that this is my Ana", says A. Cholina, whose discovery of the soloist in the main role encouraged her to stage this performance. The creative tandem of both continues for many years, B. Molytė has played the main roles in other performances of A. Cholina as well.The scenography of the performance was created by stage designer Marijus Jacovskis, and costumes and make-up by Juozas Statkevičius, so the performance leaves the audience with great aesthetic satisfaction."When creating, I do not seek to frame my performances in any genre, I am interested in creating life itself on stage. The full, multi-layered life that L. Tolstoy talks about in his novel. He weaves so much into it that one can get lost - as if against the complexity of life itself. I tried to purify what seemed important to me, exists in the present time and is relevant for the modern viewer", says A. Cholina.
