Stanislav Gillert — a stranger among his own
Abstract
The article highlights the work of the Polish dancer Stanislav Gillert on the Russian imperial stage at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Based on the materials of his personal file, periodicals and memoirs of contemporaries, the professional path of the artist is traced. Unlike many fellow countrymen invited to St. Petersburg or Moscow to perform mazurkas, Stanislav Gillert made a career as a classical dancer in Russia – he became the first performer of Prince Siegfried role in Swan Lake in Moscow, when he moved to the St. Petersburg stage, he was assigned the repertoire of the leading dancer of the Mariinsky Theater, and the provision of a teaching position at the St. Petersburg Theater School was recognition of his high professionalism. A comparison of references from the sources indicates that the stage success of the dancer, whose path has not yet been considered in the research literature, was not hindered by either the scandal associated with his name or a break in professional activity.
