Everyone is dancing!
Everyone is dancing. The first -sides stars gathered a large scene to the anniversary, XX festival of world ballet
The prize "Benoit de la Dans" that every spring is awarded to the best ballet artists in the world, habitually called "ballet Oscar." But the title has more beauty than accuracy. The nominees for the cinematic award are determined by American guilds, they also choose the winner by voting. The solution can be not accepted, but you can’t call it unprotected. It is different that the jury decides with Benois: nine of its members (every year are different people, only the chairman Yuri Grigorovich is unchanged) first offer nominees (one dancer, ballerina, choreographer), and then they themselves determine the laureates. Periodically high college makes non -obvious decisions. Nevertheless, the authority of the majority of the venerable stars included in it is so great that the ballet will only shrug: they say, the masters know better. In this anniversary for Benoit, he is 20 years old! - The jury, in addition to Yuri Grigorovich, includes the Humburg Ballet Anthrome John Neumayer, the Khudruk of the Vaganovsky school Altynay Asylmuratov, the Parisian opera Laurent Iler, the Korean National Ballet of Kim Zhu, the Korean Ballet Hudor, Manuel Lelri, the great Italian Ballerina Alesandra Ferri and working in Boston choreographer Yorma Elo. The day before the first concert Benoit, they will read the recordings of nominated performances and determine the winners; Actually, at the ceremony at the Bolshoi Theater, the statuettes will only be awarded, and only then the nominees and laureates of this year will dance for the public. The next day, the 23rd, the concert will collect laureates of past years. 
There are only five choreographers this year-apparently, some members of the jury coincided in their addictions. Russia is represented by Boris Eifman - his "Roden", last fall first shown in St. Petersburg, really came out very successful. Eifman was able to show the process of creativity on the stage, and this, as you know, is the most difficult. How many Pushkin in Russian theatrical history stupidly gnawed feathers, how many Tchaikovskys were carried in with inept hands on the keys of the piano! Rodin’s eifman from a heap of woven bodies (“clay”) frees one hand of a dancer - and a complete effect is created that he has now passed this hand. By the way, “Roden” is the only performance of the nominees that can be seen in Moscow as a whole, and not in excerpts - on May 24 and 25, the Boris Eifman Theater is dancing in Bolshoi. True, Benois has nothing to do with it - the performance brings the festival “Cherry Forest”.
Another biography in the ballet is Maria Antoinette, created by Patrick de Ban in Vienna. The main idea: no matter what the woman does, her main calling is love; The choreography is pink-pink and tragic, like a ladies' novel. One of the masters of the American Art Nouveau Lar Lyurov was noted for “crisis variations”, set in his own ballet troupe - in intense duets, bewitching acute graphics, a man and a woman experience hellish fatigue from each other and the inability to part. Choreographer Chong-bitch and director Daniel H. Pen are nominated for the performance of the Korean company of the modern dance “Arzid”, which is called “Interview with Isan Yun”, and this is the most radical of the films of the short list, it is crossed in dance and video installations. And the most “old”-“stream”, his star of the Parisian opera Jean-Giim Bar placed based on Arthur Saint-Leon, who worked in St. Petersburg in the middle of the 19th century. Saint-Leon wanted to make a performance in Mariinka, but the directorate then struggled to the scenery (Arabic exotic was supposed), and the premiere took place in Paris. The performance was not preserved, but the bar, known for the old centuries, restored everything that he was able to.

Artists and musicians
The Ballerin’s short list is the dancers well known in Russia (the Great Krochi Alina Kozhokar from the Royal British Ballet of Great Britain; this season that came from Mariinka to Big Evgenia Obraztsova; neat Parisian Etual Letizia Pyuzhol; the Vaganovskaya graduate Olga Yesina), and the artist, previously in our country, who did not appear in our country (Sarah Merns from New York City Ballet; Drawing movement, like a take -off fighter, Kathleen Bris Koms from Boston; Prima of Korean National Ballet Kim Zhun Guy). Also with dancers: all ballet will know about the rising star of the Big Vladislav Lantratov, the brutal fighter of the Hamburg ballet Karsten Yunga, the good -natured Dutch prince Matthew Golding and, of course, the sophisticated Parisian star of Matias Aiman, but the young soloist of the New York City Ballet Chase Finley and Lee Don Hong from the Korean National will look at the first time and therefore especially intently. In the nomination "Composer" that appears for the first time, Sir Paul McCartney and Michelle Legrand compete. The first wrote music for the ballet “The Ocean Kingdom” that was put in the New York City Ballet, the second - for the play “Liliom” in Hamburg. Both famous musicians have never worked for ballet before, it will be curious to hear what happened.

A day later
The 23rd-already no discussions in the stalls (someone was given a reward correctly or not). The 23rd on the stage is only a people who, in previous years, had already dragged home a weighty figurine home. Svetlana Zakharova and Ulyana Lopatkina, Lucia Lakarra and Marlon Dino from Munich, Marie-Anis Zhillo and Erve Moro from Paris, Bernis Coppieters from Monte Carlo, Flamenco Fernando star, Alisia Avilsi Apotrin Fridan Fogel from Stuttgart and many others. A company of this level cannot be lured to Russia for any other reason.
