Ax as love philosophy

The international festival of modern choreography CONTEXT Diana Vishneva is already spent the fourth time. The famous ballerina is its founder and art director. It was this festival for today and is the most significant of the numerous forums of modern dance in our country and from this year is held not only in Moscow, but also in St. Petersburg. Speeches of the leading teams of France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada and the United States ... And another contest of young choreographers, film images, creative meetings, master classes, lectures ... - All this awaited the audience "context" this year.

Especially in the merit of the cherry, it is worth putting the organization of the workshop or the contest of young choreographers, as well as last year in the electric train. This is a very useful and necessary part of the festival, although participants and last year and the current competition of special optimism on the ambulance normalization in the domestic modern dance are not too inspired ...

Of the 6 qualifying round of choreographers, finalists (their participation in the competition was announced a total of 70 (!) Candidates) ATTENTION DID ATO ALEXEY BOUSKO - Former prime troupe Rada Poklitar "Kiev Modern-ballet". Even too frank citation from the play, Angela Velzhokage "Park" (and in addition to kisses, even the same music of Mozzart is used), the author of his former chief in the room "Blessed" is used in her friend's room, revealing a clear talent, non-standard choreographic thinking and The most important thing at least some directorial skills, almost completely absent from other contestants. Peculiar work under the speaking name "Object T.L.O." Presented at this competition and Moscow choreographer Pavel Glukhov. He received the first-established audience sympathy prisoner for the first time. Why a victory of the jury awarded a small and unnecessary number "The Room" of the choreographer from St. Petersburg Olga Vasilyeva to say hard. One can only state that the victory on last year's competition clearly benefited by Konstantin Semenov, outside the competition, which, within the framework of the workshop, his new work "Andantino. Sleep one butterfly. " It can be seen that the work of the choreographer becomes more meaningful, it develops, gradually gaining his own underline.

The international program of the festival was diverse. On the stage of the Gogol Center, American choreographer Alonzo King - Artistic director of Alonzo King Lines Ballet troupe - in honor of the 110th anniversary of Dmitry Shostakovich presented ballet inspired by the works of the Russian composer. For the first time, he who arrived in Russia, the troupe also showed the 8-minute production of the "basis of the letter" on the motives of Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Tibetan spiritual music. Sophisticated choreography using very plastic, but absolutely devoid of any sexuality, practically naked (the main stage costume: melting on dancers and swimsuits on dancers) female and male bodies did not allow to miss anything for the first 10 minutes. Then the divanctural combinations of dancers were clearly repeated, tiring their predictability and monotony. At the same time, the choreography of the second ballet was not much different from the ballet "Shostakovich".

The main bait of the festival this year was of course the legendary Troupe of Maurice Bezhar from Lausanne, who spoke in the second office of the evening. And it is possible to regret that the world-famous company who actually actually took part in this festival did not show the participation in this festival, limiting only Pa de de from the ballet "Vienna, Vienna, the city of My Dream" at the Gala concert festival. The Bejarovsky dancers were more complete in this sense showed a couple of days in St. Petersburg at the festival "Dyagilev. P.S.. As for the choreography of the current leader, the troupe housing Roman, whose ballet "Like from the moon felling" Beshar troupe presented in Russia, then in this formation could be admired only by Plastic Julien Favro and Elizabeth Ros, two stars of the troupe also Bejar times who were not confused with time hypnotism, luxury and charm of their dance.

Another festival sensation was the participation of Mats Eka. This choreography could not cause any disappointment, such an energy and power was such from her. Considering that the Mats EK replaced with the stage, and compose new ones, and also to give permission to rent an old one's work yet, showing at the opening and closing of the festival of his last dance-play AXE ("Topor") difficult to overestimate ...

On the scene of the Music Theater of Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Khazhnikovsky and elderly man (Ivan Auzheli), a real ax focused and long chucks lamp ... Real, distinctly audible and drowning all other knockout noises - the only note of the prologue of this piercing story played on stage with two elderly artists . She (Ana Laguna, the wife and muse of the Great Choreographer) under the unexpected music of Jazzotto, well-known as "adagio" albini with ridiculous straps, rolling and squatting around him, trying to pay attention in every way. And in front of us, their life flies ... Life is composed of collisions, contradictions (as Mats Ek says, explaining the meaning of his essay: "For him, cutting firewood Case is a practical sense, for her heavy act of violence") and reconciliation ... Life pressed in moments, but opens the window In eternity ... After all, in this 15-minute room, in essence, a story about a man and a woman and their passing past life, in this such non-commodity at first glance and uncomplicated choreography is hidden a sense of consent to the great sacrament of love, which carried through life Friend these people ...
