Cotillon

Résumé du livre

At the end of the 1920s a second generation of Russian émigré dancers burst onto the stages of Europe. George Balanchine brought them together in the Ballet Russes de Monte-Carlo. In doing so, he infused the experimental narratives of Diaghilev's recent Ballets Russes with the poetic ambiguities of the new decade. Cotillon, from 1932, is an exploration of young love stalked by Fate and a lodestone of his psycho-Romantic ballets to come. -- Page 4 of cover
