Features of interpretation of the archetypal image of the sea maiden and Friedrich de La Motte Fouquet’s fairy tale “Undine” in the ballet of the same name by Hans Werner Henze
Abstract
The importance of mythological and folk stories in the art culture cannot be overestimated – they “feed” the creativity of various authors and form the basis of numerous works in different arts. An important feature of the existence of such eternal stories in culture is their conformity to the era in which they are embodied. While preserving the main motives, the stories are transformed depending on the aesthetic, stylistic, philosophical and ideological features of a particular period. One example of such modifications is the story about Undine, implemented in many works of different eras and demonstrating compliance with the most important constants of time in each of them.
This article attempts to analyze the story about Undine and the peculiarities of its interpretation in the ballet of Hans Werner Henze and Frederick Ashton in the context of figurative and stylistic trends of the 19th– 20th centuries. The attention is paid to semantic accents in drama, the analysis of special expressive means by which the archetypal image of the sea maiden is embodied in the fabric of the ballet, and the comparison of ways of displaying it in the music of the romantic age and modern times.
