The Golden horde ballet in the context of current trends in the development of modern Tatar ballet
Abstract
Tatar ballet is a vivid phenomenon in the Russian musical theater. For several decades, the first Tatar ballet Shurale determined the vectors of genre development in the Tatar theater, related to the choice of a literary source, the development of drama and the scenic embodiment of a fabulous multi-act performance. The 21st century demonstrates new approaches to plot selection and genre searches. The basis of the first ballet productions are the works of medieval Tatar literature. The article analyzes The Golden Horde ballet, based on the plot of the novel Idegey. The article reveals the features of artistic “adaptation” of historical events and images of real characters for the modern viewer, the search for a new genre and scenic solution.
