In occasione del centenario de La danzasinfonia di Fedor Lopuchov si è discusso dell’eredità del balletto sinfonico. Tra i nodi tuttora da sciogliere a questo proposito è il legame tra la linea sinfonica e la linea drammatica dell’arte coreografica russa novecentesca, nonché la reale natura del suo duplice rapporto con la tradizione e l’Avanguardia. A questo scopo, il saggio analizza il cambio di direzione impresso dal coreografo Fedor Lopuchov alla propria produzione subito dopo l’insuccesso de La danzasinfonia, esplorando lo spettacolo dal titolo Il vortice rosso (1924) nei suoi intrecci letterari, musicali, visivi e teatrali con le Avanguardie russe.

Abstract
On the occasion of the centenary of the Dance Symphony by Fedor Lopukhov, the legacy of symphonic ballet was discussed. Among the issues still to be resolved in this regard is the link between the symphonic line and the dramatic line of twentieth-century Russian choreographic art, as well as the real nature of its dual relationship with tradition and the Avant-garde. To this end, the essay anal-yses the change of direction given by the choreographer Fedor Lopuchov to his own produc-tion immediately after the failure of the Dance Symphony, exploring the work entitled The Red Whirlwind (1924) in its literary, musical, visual, and theatrical interweaving with the Russian Avant-garde.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
