  • El Ballet De Geòrgia Presenta «Fuenteovejuna», «Chopiniana» I
    Cultura i mitjans | | Actualitzat el 17/12/2019 a les 13:30 El Ballet de Geòrgia presenta «Fuenteovejuna», «Chopiniana» i «L'Ocell de foc» a Terrassa La companyia de dansa oferirà una doble programació per aquest cap de setmana al Centre Cultural Terrassa L'Ocell de Foc del Ballet de Geòrgia. | Cedida L'escenari del Centre Cultural Terrassa (http://www.fundacioct.cat/) acull, aquest cap de setmana de desembre, una doble programació del Ballet de Geòrgia. El dissbte 21 de desembre a les 20 h la companyia presenta el clàssic de Lope de Vega, Fuenteovejuna i el dilluns 23 de desembre a les 20.30 h homenatja a Fokin amb Chopiniana i L'Ocell de foc. Fuenteovejuna (escrita en 1613) és una de les obres més conegudes de Lope de Vega i una de les més representades de tots els temps. La història està basada en un fet real que va succeir al segle XV a un pobe andalús. Davant els abusos del comendador Fernán Gómez, tot el poble es va alçar contra ell i el va matar atroçment. El ballet, anomenat també Laurencia, es va estrenar el 1939 a l'Òpera de Kirov i el Ballet Theatre i va tenir un gran èxit a tota l'antiga URSS, en un moment en què a la Unió Soviètica es considerava el coreodrama l'única forma acceptable de ballet contemporani. Al mateix temps, la història d'una revolució camperola era òbviament el tema ideal per a un ballet soviètic. La coreografia va a càrrec de Nina Ananiashvili, sobre l'original de Vakhtang Chabukiani i música d'Alexander Krein.

  • Soviet Ballet, Nationalities Policy, and the Artistic Media, 1953-1968
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository “THE FRIENDSHIP OF PEOPLES”: SOVIET BALLET, NATIONALITIES POLICY, AND THE ARTISTIC MEDIA, 1953-1968 BY KRISTEN ELIZABETH HAMM THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2009 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Diane P. Koenker ABSTRACT This project places the art form of Soviet classical ballet within the political and cultural context of the Khrushchev-era Thaw. It traces the Soviet Union’s long-standing nationalities policy—envisioned by Lenin even before 1917 and championed by Stalin throughout his tenure—and its connection to the proliferation of state-sponsored classical ballet theatres across the ethnically diverse, non-Russian regions and republics of the USSR. Classical ballet served a dual purpose in fulfilling the Soviet Union’s claim to be the most culturally, scientifically, economically, and politically advanced country on earth. First, the internationally-heralded achievements of Russia’s two oldest ballet institutions—the Bolshoi and Kirov Theatres—served to demonstrate Soviet cultural superiority to the rest of the world. Second, by founding state-sponsored ballet theatres in its peripheries, the Soviet Union utilized the art form of classical dance as a part of its civilizing mission to spread culture to its own “backward” regions. The artistic achievements of these provincial and republic ballet theatres served as a powerful source of propaganda, not only to Moscow and Leningrad, but also abroad, emphasizing the Soviet Union’s dedication to cultural development even in traditionally under-developed regions.

  • Organized Crime and Corruption in Georgia
    Organized Crime and Corruption in Georgia Georgia is one of the most corrupt and crime-ridden nations of the former Soviet Union. In the Soviet period, Georgians played a major role in organized crime groups and the shadow economy operating throughout the Soviet Union, and in the post-Soviet period, Georgia continues to be an important source of inter- national crime and corruption. Important changes have been made since the Rose Revolution in Georgia to address the organized crime and pervasive corruption. This book, based on extensive original research, surveys the most enduring aspects of organized crime and corruption in Georgia and the most important reforms since the Rose Revolution. Endemic crime and corruption had a devastating effect on government and everyday life in Georgia, spurring widespread popular discontent that culminated with the Rose Revolution in 2003. Some of the hopes of the Rose Revolution have been realized, though major challenges lie ahead as Georgia confronts deep-seated crime and corruption issues that will remain central to political, economic, and social life in the years to come.
