The ballet "Man and Woman" is a plastic embodiment of the philosophical understanding of the nature of relationship between a man and a woman, which, by their divine nature, cannot exist separately from each other. Deep psychologism was laid in the monologue of a Man who is losing his mind from the collisions he is experiencing.
