Choreographic interpretation of works of Russian classical literature by foreign choreographers in the 21st century

Abstract

The article is dedicated to choreographic interpretations of works of Russian classical literature created in the 21st century by foreign choreographers. Continuing the traditions of literary ballets of the 20th century, modern interpretations confirm the relevance of the development of this genre. An interesting trend in connection with which foreign choreographers often find inspiration in the works of Russian writers. Thus, the article discusses the choreographic interpretations of the works of Alexander Pushkin (the story The Queen of Spades, the novel in verse Eugene Onegin), Nikolay Gogol (the comedy The Government Inspector), Leo Tolstoy (the novel Anna Karenina), Anton Chekhov (the play The Seagull), Mikhail Bulgakov (the novel The Master and Margarita), staged by Roland Petit, Iñaki Urlezaga, John Neumeier, Deborah Colker, Crystal Pite, Alexei Ratmansky, Teet Kask, Christian Spuk, Marina Kesler, Edward Clug. In these ballets there are new variants of visual reflection of the relationship between literature and choreography.
