«Drambalet» - a view from the XXI century

Abstract

In 1980-ies the term «drambalet» was frankly negative and even derogatory overtones. Professional discourse of ballet history presented «drambalet» (direction of highly effective innovative step in the development of ballet), charged with «total rejection of traditional classical structures» for «dancing pantomime and dramatized dance». By considering the phenomenon of «drambalet» with examples of his best specimens, who received not only recognition of his contemporaries, but also a long stage life, the author concludes: horeodrama («drambalet») - an eligible genre ballet, taking roots in the reformist practice J.-J. Noverre (XVIII c.), and developed in the creativity of outstanding choreographers in subsequent periods. One section of the article is devoted to the creative productive relations of Japanese and Russian ballet, especially actively carried out in 1950-60-ies. on the ground of horeodrama.
