Anna Karenina (Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb): In Search of Authenticity

“Anna Karenina”, a ballet adaptation of one of the world’s greatest novels written by Leo Tolstoy premiered on 4th of April 2014 in the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb (choreography by Leo Mujić and stage adaptation by Valentina Turcu). By evoking complicated emotional states and depicting various psychological portraits of the main protagonists underlined by the works of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky which were not originally written for ballet the authors of this ballet created a 21st century Anna Karenina who is in a constant search of her authenticity. Therefore, this paper tries to analyse and explore how authenticity is made visible on the stage in this particular ballet and which means are implemented in order to communicate the problem of lost/altered authenticity.
