behind every peruet and dance couples about the art of ballet and life behind the scenes, we will talk with the chief choreographer of the bolshoi theater of belarus igor kolb, alina involuntarily and this is a fashion for culture, a synthesis of decorative dramatic and musical art. ballet - this is not just a dance - it is also music performed by a symphony orchestra under the guidance of a virtuoso conductor. they were together, the director who puts the drawing of the action, as well as the ballet dancers who embody thoughts through dance, thereby revealing the plot performance, if we are talking about the art of ballet in belarus, then a vivid example of the preservation or tare culture is the bolshoi theater, a ballet, whose repertoire is wide and varied throughout .

and for decades, the posters have always been present, both classical performances, a kind of markers of high style , and new names, the leading role in the development of the national ballet belongs to the creative activity of the belarusian blesmister , people's artist of the ussr valentin elizariev, his innovative views, bold and complete the metaphorical and plastic diversity of the production is enthusiastically received not only in our country, but all over the world, so in 2023 in its new version the premiere of the ballet and ludwig milkus don quixote took place, today valentin nikolayevich is the artistic director, and the honorary position of the chief choreographer of the bolshoi theater of belarus occupied by igor kol, who has been living ballet since school age, learns and embodies the most daring ideas in life. igor pavlovich

hello, the first mention of the ballet comes from from italy later he became popular in france, but certainly the world fame was found by the russian ballet, which actually reached the peak of its popularity in the twentieth century , you have served in the mariinsky theater for 26 years, you have been the prime minister of the mariinsky honored artist of russia , but nevertheless, and the first profile you received your education at the belarusian state choreographic school. tell us what role the belarusian ballet school played in your life. such a key moment for me, since i was left to myself as a child. i was born in the city pinsk and at that time, in principle, there was not a single theater, so be aware of the pain. i could not do anything absolutely, but literally on the eve of children's and graphic school. now it's number

three. and there was an anniversary, it was from there that my first steps began, literally exactly the steps, because. i tried there for several months, where i was selected and brought for us diagonally , there are two teachers in exactly the same place on chicherin in exactly a week. dad brought me to kamaz. e in minsk they looked me over and said the boy to you to us in this way. i became learn about what ballet is and all my life. i say the same phrase. i was born in pinsk, studied in minsk, took place as an artist in st. petersburg on what is surprising today, all this is somehow reunited. and pinsk minsk petersburg and again minsk and i am at the stage again of some new events from a blank slate as a leader. well, coming to the theater. in fact, let's take a ballet, the viewer sees luxurious scenery, bright costumes, but after all , behind all this there is a dozen painstaking work.

and maybe even hundreds of people like that, what is the reverse side of the ballet, which is hidden from the eyes of the viewer, and here it is for you specifically. and what does the creative behind the scenes mean through the eyes of the main, fucking mr. bolshoi theater of belarus well, what a wonder ballet. uh, this is equal to the army, since there are childhood years here. uh, tough discipline without discipline. we will not learn how to elementarily perform individual movements that grow in the theater into some form of dance, the wrong side of ballet, it is most interesting to the ordinary viewer, because the audience comes to the theater. this event is the first to see holiday, but uh for the last season. i realized that all those open events that were created primarily in the format of internal processes. they, uh, are sometimes much more interesting than just going to the theater, that is, open lessons, open exhibition complexes, created large promotions

for the ruble, curiously enough, they also opened for me the perception of the audience and the audience's view of the theater, such a necessary function of this more today. it is interesting to learn about the art of ballet from the perspective of a choreographer. first of all, i'm like a choreographer of me first of all people inspire. i am inspired by people and my movement in life is built primarily from communication, in which i find this or that direction for further development, both stage incarnations and, well, some analysis for myself pavlovich you are very parents for the future of the belarusian ballet. more precisely, for his younger generation, you yourself look at the future of ballet dancers, and for sure, hmm, the new season of the big one was replenished with new faces by graduates of choreographic schools. here. tell me how far they go integration. here's to the acting corpses. is

everything easy for him? first season. uh, it's always quite difficult and big theaters get appointed. belarus the first thing i understood, first of all, i need to expand a little. uh, both look and relationship with the society around the nineties eugene season has arrived. more than 35 artists, and this is somewhere, probably 25-30%, e, who came from st. petersburg, moscow, and so on, that is, from russia, this was a very surprising moment for me, because i understood what it means that i manage to do what -something minimum to attract an audience and disclosure outside the country. it becomes a tradition. this year on may 16th, we will have open theater viewings again. i initiated it not just because we need personnel. although they are necessary. it is very important for me to show this, we are now walking in a beautiful park around the theater and everyone who came to minsk to watch, even if he was not selected, he was sent to walk around the theater

of the troy subject, and the avenues are not fallow, and so on and so on in order to a person, if he comes to minsk , he had an idea where he plans to live in order to see a wonderful theater, both outside and inside, that everything is present. catches for the realization of the opportunities that are offered to young people the first year - it's hard in independence whether he moves, uh, or uh, comes to some place of work. we all get used to school about being followed. uh, that's how it's going on right now with us adjusting the microphone. do not give. god will touch something. and when you come to the theater and you you clearly understand the situation when it’s not that you don’t need you, but you start everything from scratch. and this transitional stage, even if you follow the path of those children, as i call them, who came from the school of the bolshoi theater of belarus, you see how, this enthusiastic first changes to ordinary perception and

at the end of the season. i see the absolutely happy faces of the guys who arrived, who understand that some part of that long-term planning for them, including with them, has been completed and somehow i can already day to say that i am satisfied. in the sense that this function took place and it has borne fruit. let's take a look at the legendary ballet swan lake, which turned 145 last year. being the main choreographer. it's really been written for a long time. it was invented that you bring something new of your own to the production and that's exactly the fact that the classics are unshakable, this is a certain form of the repertoire policy of the swan lake theater, the nutcracker giselle baiderka. e. raymond, that is, the backbone that is necessary first of all for good the state of the team. if these names are not in the poster, questions arise accordingly. and what happens there, and a competent leader always makes the ratio

of the classics of the modern direction and some experimental trends that are necessary, because at a certain time every artist is faced with what to do next within the framework of the repertoire policy of such young people and no longer young by that time. eh, it gets bigger every year. if you don't find the path development suggestions, uh, i think it's will be stupid. if this does not happen , because we are well aware that there is yesterday, today and tomorrow, after some time we will need to look for someone on the side of our educators who have lost their ribs, so e swan lake. uh, it's needed in the repertoire format. it creates quality cadaver work. and this is the name when i now recall one moment when, being in tokyo, i came on tour to the national theater, uh, tokyo, and on the same evening there were six performances for six months, that is, so much

demand above all a-a on tchaikovsky on the subject of the theme of love. uh, disappointing and in the end all is well in the end, but so necessary for and uh, not only in terms of music. well, today's versions a lot of them are modern. they are absolutely, sometimes not having a relationship. by the way, the very idea and today at the bolshoi theater of belarus there is a classical version, but the repertoire policy that has been built over the years it allows you to have it. eh, it is this name in the form in which it is, that is , after all, a classic for eternity will always be this the business card of any theater swan lake must be you probably know the bright myths about ballet. here are some of them you can refute. and which ones to confirm? i am a happy person.

i have always lived in natural competition in a competitive environment where there was no place for some kind of myth, when they say that something is poured into glass with a bat, and so on and so forth, and in fact, sometimes it’s even funny to me, because when i hear, among, colleagues, something like that. i understand perfectly, no matter what you do in life. uh in the final the result is an exit to the stage where you are either, yes, or you are nobody, there are many rumors, many myths, but reality, it absolutely does not correspond, the very myth, if we consider ballet as an art, then the first association that arises with it is lightness and airiness pack. here, and so easy, in fact, life is on the bar. i will talk about one of the advantages in my profession, because. yes, this is very hard work, uh , strict discipline, but investing 300% entering the stage, the audience party all this

pays for all the costs that you incur on of your life to achieve some results and the most what is surprising is that you do not immediately understand this, you understand when everything is already on the decline. and here is the way forward. after that, it just creates some kind of moment of what to expect next, and we correlate everything precisely with this short segment of the path, uh, on which everything was so bright, but so swiftly fast. and so for some reason i always knew about it and, uh , my life was not limited. the only profession, ballet dancer, that was advised to those who i wanted to join the art of ballet, from which to start acquaintance with this elite and well , firstly, before going somewhere in particular.

there you need to lead the child, of course, to read and talk to him about what theater is, what is ballet and the plot components of the evening, because from the first attempt to understand what is happening on stage, what happened is a beautiful girl in a beautiful dress in tights. an adult boy came out, which is rather strange for the perception of a child for the first trip from the usual one. uh, viewing families, however, if the parents cook talk about the music talk about the plot say it's a fairy tale explains every moment get sick. it's not that complicated and an art form. but it is so elitist and a trip to the theater is necessary as an event. uh, when everything happens on the first try and love happens immediately at first sight in september last year on the stage of the big you presented the premiere in the dacha of the ballet joselle, as you understand, belarusian absolutely different, because my tasks were to make the performance interesting different

age category it was fundamentally important, because it seems to me that the child needs to be prepared for coming to the theater. uh, ahead of time, and i, as it seemed to me, asked a little for the task of the parents in the hunting scene. we have dogs in the scene, rather a peasant dance. we have a wedding couple riding a horse. and it seems to me that the first act, it is absolutely done . everyone will find their interest in any age category, in the second act all kinds of options were used. how, first of all, to show the stage canvas of the bolshoi theater because after the reconstruction? there are many different kinds. ah , the possibilities for creating a special effect of the other world, and these are passages, exits from under the stage, passages and flying fabrics. today, it is quite difficult to compete with animation, since we

are all on the internet. we absolutely easily watch a movie and do , uh, a ballet performance, creating a competitive environment for tv to the internet, but it was not easy, so for me , let's say, a natural process on the stage, when someone leaves the dog's horse, because all life in st. petersburg in everyone is like them took part in the horse came out with the word so for me it was not, but in some kind of uh format. it seemed to me that the belarusian public was not ready for the opportunity, but to see us stage a horse or dogs in this regard. uh, there was such a nuance, he said why we need a horse, but on the other hand. i had a clear goal - it's not just to create an effect and somehow think only in this direction much more broadly, i considered it much more widely. uh, i studied history, first of all , of the first performance, the premiere of which took place in 1846. in paris, in the description

of the performance, it is in documents that a retinue on horseback rode out on the stage of the hunting scene, that is, it was not even about one horse, but horses. considering the fact that they are there, er, six pairs turned out to be six horses in the grand pirate from different directions rode onto the stage. i imagined this incredible action on this scale and we know the scale of the bolshoi theater on a huge stage. one small horse. i think no one should have offended anyone, after all. modern technologies are actively used. they are obliged be because, if there is something, it should be used as the very gun that hangs. during the action, nevertheless, in the finale , you should have the opportunity to use them today, ballet is more relevant than ever among belarusian connoisseurs, but this elite art. in your opinion, what is his greatness magic? we all come to the theater

to be surprised. working in one direction or another, we want a holiday. we want emotions, and even this speech is not always a celebration of the outgoing and incoming spectators. uh wants to get food for thought at the same time to relax cry. and or laugh, how is it possible to do this, let's say the performance is surprised in giselle and weep in giselle, because the price of madness does not leave anyone indifferent to understand what swan lake is, swans floating on a lake with beautiful shorthand. i mean, uh, we come for the emotions. what gives us emotions? of course, the theater, the bolshoi theater of belarus at present, the repertoire of the bolshoi theater of belarus has about 40 titles of ballets. this

national performances, masterpieces of world classics, as well as modern productions, creative teams are actively touring, and audiences from more than 30 countries of the world are familiar with the art of theater artists, like everything in this world, ballet continues to develop and grow, changing along with the outside world, without losing its relevance and greatness, ballet remains the same magical art in which, with the help of dance, you can tell about all human emotions and feelings. here, every wave of the hand is full of wisdom and there is not a single pointless movement. fill your life with meaning. join the elite art of ballet and follow the fashion trends of the cultural life of our country alina was with you and remember to be cultured. - it's fashionable see you in a week before new cultural meetings.
