  • Incorporare Il Fantastico: Marie Taglioni Elena Cervellati ([email protected])
    * Incorporare il fantastico: Marie Taglioni Elena Cervellati ([email protected]) Il balletto fantastico e Marie Taglioni Negli anni Trenta dell'Ottocento in alcuni grandi teatri istituzionali europei fioriscono balletti in grado di raccogliere e fare precipitare in una forma visibile istanze che percorrono, proprio in quegli anni, diversi ambiti della cultura, della società, del sentire, consolidando e facendo diventare norma un certo modo di trovare temi e personaggi, di strutturare tessuti drammaturgici, di costruire il mondo in cui l'azione si svolgerà, di danzare. Mondi altri con cui chi vive sulla terra può entrare in relazione, passaggi dallo stato di veglia a sogni densi di avvenimenti, incantesimi e malefici, esseri fatti di nebbia e di luce, ombre e spiriti impalpabili, creature volanti, esseri umani che assumono sembianze animali, oggetti inanimati che prendono vita e forme antropomorfe trovano nello spettacolo coreico e nel corpo danzante di quegli anni un luogo di elezione, andando a costituire uno dei tratti fondamentali del balletto romantico. Il danzatore abita i mondi proposti dalla “magnifica evasione” 1 offerta dal balletto e ne è al tempo stesso creatore primo. È capace di azioni sorprendenti, analoghe a quelle dell’acrobata che “poursuit sa propre perfection à travers la réussite de l’acte prodigieux qui met en valeur toutes les ressources de son corps”2.

  • Le Fabuleux Destin Du Docteur Véron, Vesalius, X, I, 20-24, 2004
    Le Fabuleux Destin du Docteur Véron, Vesalius, X, I, 20-24, 2004 Le Fabuleux Destin du Docteur Véron Claude A Planchon Résumé Extraordinaire odyssée que celui du Docteur Louis-Désiré Véron (1798-1867), Interne des Hôpitaux de Paris. Déçu par la médecine en un temps où l'on ne pouvait faire carrière à Paris sans « être bien-né », il prend une étonnante revanche sur la société, après avoir fait fortune par hasard dans la pharmacie. Il innove dans le journalisme en tant que précurseur de la publicité médicale. Il dirige, de main de maître, l'Opéra de Paris, rue Le Peletier, de 1831 à 1835, l'une des plus beiles périodes. Il y crée notamment, pour le lyrique, « Robert le Diable », de Meyerbeer et « La Sylphide », de Filippo Taglioni, l'une des pièces maîtresses du ballet romantique, interprétée par la propre fille du chorégraphe, MarieTaglioni.Véron en sera le protecteur. Malgré un physique ingrat, compensé par un esprit hors du commun,Véron séduira Rachel, la plus grande tragédienne du Théâtre-Français de I' époque. Summary The life of Doctor Louis-Desire Veron (1798-1867) was an incredible odyssey. Starting his professional life as an 'Interne des Hopitaux de Paris', he found himself unable to enter the medical establishment at a time when it was practically impossible to succeed in Parisian society without having being born into a wealthy family. He was eventually able to take his revenge on Paris when he had made a fortune from pharmacy. He became the head of the Le Pelletier Paris Opera (183 1-1835), in one of the most brilliant periods of opera history, with productions of Robert le Diable by Meyerbeer and La Sylphide, a ballet choreographed by FilippoTaglioni.This latter was first interpreted by Marie, the prima ballerina daughter of Taglioni.

Figlio del danzatore grottesco Carlo Ta- glioni, che aveva lavorato con Gasparo Angiolini e Ono- rato Viganò, ha iniziato gli studi di danza con il padre, come anche le sue sorelle Giuseppina e Luigia e suo fra- tello Salvatore, divenuto anch’egli un noto coreografo (vedere 4.9). A soli dodici anni già faceva parte di un corpo di ballo a Firenze. Dopo aver sostenuto per qualche tempo ruoli en travesti, è divenuto primo ballerino assoluto nella sta- gione del Carnevale 1797 del Teatro Giustiniani di Venezia.

  • Eva Evdokimova (Western Germany), Atilio Labis
    i THE CUBAN BALLET: ITS RATIONALE, AESTHETICS AND ARTISTIC IDENTITY AS FORMULATED BY ALICIA ALONSO A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Lester Tomé January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Joellen Meglin, Advisory Chair, Dance Karen Bond, Dance Michael Klein, Music Theory Heather Levi, External Member, Anthropology ii © Copyright 2011 by Lester Tomé All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT In the 1940s, Alicia Alonso became the first Latin American dancer to achieve international prominence in the field of ballet, until then dominated by Europeans. Promoted by Alonso, ballet took firm roots in Cuba in the following decades, particularly after the Cuban Revolution (1959). This dissertation integrates the methods of historical research, postcolonial critique and discourse analysis to explore the performative and discursive strategies through which Alonso defined her artistic identity and the collective identity of the Cuban ballet. The present study also examines the historical context of the development of ballet in Cuba, Alonso’s rationale for the practice of ballet on the Island, and the relationship between the Cuban ballet and the European ballet. Alonso defended the legitimacy of Cuban dancers to practice ballet and, in specific, perform European classics such as Giselle and Swan Lake. She opposed the notion that ballet was the exclusive patrimony of Europeans. She also insisted that the cultivation of this dance form on the Island was not an act of cultural colonialism. In her view, the development of ballet in Cuba consisted, instead, of an exploration of a distinctive Cuban voice within this dance form, a reformulation of a European legacy from a postcolonial perspective.

C E R A G I O L I The Ballet Blancs The Ballet Blancs or “White Ballets” were christened so because the Ballerina and the Corps de Ballet all wore white tutus, either Romantic or Classical, and so the name of the genre is de- rived from the white tutu. The Ballet Blancs incorporated the Romantic Style of Classical Ballet from the nineteenth century, whose plot was populated by dryads, enchanted maidens, fairies, ghosts, naiads, shades, shadows or other supernatural creatures and spirits..

They seem not to touch the earth. Like vaporous images, they glide past one another… Suddenly their shrouds fall to the ground. They stand in all their voluptuous nakedness, and there begins a bacchanal.” ~Hans Christian Andersen~ After the July Revolution of 1830, a Constitutional Monarchy was established in France under the Reigning Monarch, Louis-Philippe I. Now ruling the nation, French Parliament decided to remove the Paris Opera from the Royal Household and completely withdrew the enormous state subsidy that had been granted the Paris Opera since 1669.
