On August 18 at 16:00 in the lecture hall of the “Worker and Kolkhoz Woman” pavilion, artist, teacher, choreographer, Honored Artist of the RSFSR Yuri Vetrov will hold a lecture organized jointly with the International Ballet Center.

The second lecture from the cycle “History of Ballet” will be devoted to the art of dramatic reincarnation. Choreodrama is a drama ballet, which became the main genre of ballet theater in the period of the 30-50s of the XX century.

We will talk about famous choreographers and performers of the past, such as Rostislav Zakharov, Leonid Lavrovsky, Galina Ulanova, Alexey Ermolaev, Maya Plisetskaya, who combined the virtuosity of technique with dramatic art and created a psychological ballet theater in Russia.

We will remember the great performances of this time “The Fountain of Bakhchisarai” based on the poem of the same name by Alexander Pushkin and, of course, “Romeo and Juliet”, a performance in which the genre reached its peak, and we will also analyze the phenomenon of Boris Eifman, who successfully continues to conquer Russian and Western audience today.

We are waiting for all admirers of high art on Saturday, August 18 at 16:00.
