Mai 1909. La première saison des Ballets Russes en France fait un triomphe. Sur la scène du Châtelet, le public parisien voit surgir l’Orient dont ont rêvé ses peintres et ses poètes. Irruption des couleurs, gestuelle saccadée, remise à l’honneur de la danse masculine une révolution est en marche. Serge Diaghilev, créateur et mécène des Ballets, veut mettre en oeuvre un spectacle total, une esthétique de la surprise avec des artistes d’avant-garde qui bousculent les traditions. Une « peinture en mouvement », une « orgie de formes et de couleurs » où l’oeuvre picturale joue un rôle d’autant plus important qu’elle est conçue par rapport à la musique et à l’acteur. Natalia Smirnova fait revivre cette aventure exceptionnelle, associée à une superbe iconographie : tableaux, aquarelles, gouaches, esquisses de costumes, photographies des scènes de spectacles, des peintres, des danseurs… Le livre-événement pour fêter le centenaire des Ballets les plus célèbres du monde.

Belle-époque Paris witnessed the emergence of a vibrant and diverse dance scene, one that crystallized around the Ballets Russes, the Russian dance company formed by impresario Sergey Diaghilev. The company has long served as a convenient turning point in the history of dance, celebrated for its revolutionary choreography and innovative productions. This book presents a fresh slant on this much-told history. Focusing on the relation between music and dance, Davinia Caddy approaches the Ballets Russes with a wide-angled lens that embraces not just the choreographic, but also the cultural, political, theatrical and aesthetic contexts in which the company made its name. In addition, Caddy examines and interprets contemporary French dance practices, throwing new light on some of the most important debates and discourses of the day.
