A.Pavlova - the nun of art?
A.Pavlova - the nun of art?
ONE OF THESE DAYS 120 years to great Russian ballerina Anna were executed
PAVLOVOJ.
To ROUND date the Fund for charity of a name of A.Pavlovoj has solved
To transport ashes of the great ballerina from London where it is based, in
Moscow. By a place for a reinterment it has been chosen Novodeviche
Cemetery, also day when should take place is officially named
Ceremony. But at the last minute, "for technical reasons", as
Organizers have explained, all has broken.
The head of Fund Pavlovoj Mrs. Zhilenkova assures, that
The reinterment will necessarily take place. But to name date, obviously,
Remembering a last year's discomfiture to name refuses.
However, as it became known "AiF", there is a probability, that ashes
Ballerinas to Russia it will be never transported. First, Anna
Pavlova itself has chosen England the residence and dreamt
To be buried in that place where to her soul was pokojno. As
Spouse Pavlovoj Victor Dandre has made, whose ashes are based upon the same
Cemetery. And secondly, sharp disagreement with the Fund initiative
Relatives Dandre (at Pavlovoj children were not) have stated, having learnt about
Planned carrying over of ashes of the ballerina. From their point of view,
The promulgated invention directly contradicts the will most Pavlovoj.
Calls questions and a choice of a place for a reinterment. Why
Novodeviche? For true admirers of talent of the ingenious
Dancers not a secret, that Pavlova did not like Moscow and came
Here all it is some times exclusive because of the tour
Performances. If really to aspire to a celebration
Historical justice, last haven of ashes
Ballerinas it is necessary to choose S.-peterburg - a city, where great Pavlova
120 years ago was born.
What is Pavlova?
This woman was WHOM? In interview to magazine "Sun of Russia"
Anna Pavlova named itself "the nun of art". Admirers
Critics - a symbol of ballet considered as its divine dancer,
Historians - the outstanding person of two centuries (as was born
Pavlova in 1881, and has died in 1931). Actually it was and
Remains the GREAT SYMBOL of Russian art of the XX-th century.
Anna became a legend during lifetime, having weaved from hidden threads
Own myth. It did not give interview, but newspapers wrote about it
Every day. She did not like to speak about herself, but about it spoke
Millions. With Pavlovoj - the first myth of the XX-th century - originates
History idolopoklonnichestva.
"Across all Russia its figurines are on sale; its feet are insured
For the big sum ", - recollected ballerina Olga Chekhov, Russian
The actress.
Byl and nebyl.
Husband Pavlova named Victor Dandre, for the sake of which for
Some years before events of 1917 have left Russia. In general
Private life of the great woman has always been covered by a secret veil.
In one of interview she has responded the journalist: "My personal
Life? It is theatre ". In its words there was no slyness.
Having got over abroad, she has quickly understood, that
Innuendo, secret - the major engine of success. The ballerina
Never told about the father, eventually even having changed
In the passport patronymic Matveevna on Pavlovna. Knowing, that all world
Personifies her name with ballet "the Dying swan", in the
The London manor it gets white swans and on neskolku hours
Poses for photographers, having embraced birds with whom preliminary cut
Wings. When the gardener informs it, that swans do not transfer
Local climate, start to freeze and perish, Pavlova gives
The order to buy the ten more birds.
During tours across America one of approached by the great
Dancers unsuccessfully tried to force to bring an action it on
Organizers of tours. After all these businessmen have allowed to place
Images of the ballerina on city buses, moreover in the neighbourhood with
Tooth-paste advertising. "Near to paste advertising? - Has smiled in
Answer Pavlova. - But after all my photos are larger? Besides it
Symbolically - means for appearance near to most krasotoju ".
Dream and reality.
She till last day adored to dance (in a death agony
Its last words were: "Bring to me the Swan suit") and
Always with pleasure agreed on tour. Though, if
To speak frankly, having got over abroad, Pavlova any more
Presumed to refuse performances - it was necessary to contain
The house, servants to pay the salary to troupe. Times, when to it of anything
It is not necessary to lay out 21 000 roubles of the penalty for refusal to leave on
Mariinsky theatre scene (though the revenue of the usual tonic-ballerina
Made 3000 roubles), remained in the past, in Russia.
Whether she dreamt to return to the Soviet Russia? This subject not
It was discussed. But through the American society of the help of Russia Anna
Supported to troupe of Mariinsky theatre: bought and
Sent to Petersburg stockings, dresses, sugar, a flour. Actors
Idolised Pavlovu, while the ballerina the Quiz Kriger who has come back
From emigration where she danced at Pavlovoj, has not acted with
The protest: "As we can take tips from any
beloemigrantov! "To huge affliction of troupe, administration
Mariinsky theatre has informed Pavlovu on refusal to accept its help.
In Soviet Union to Anna Pavlovoj concerned as the emigrant.
On her death "Truth", unlike all world newspapers,
Devoted to the great woman the whole releases, has reacted one
Line: "Yesterday in London Russian ballerina Anna has died
Pavlova ". Words"great"for the ingenious dancer at
sootechestvenikov was not.
And abroad... Talent Pavlovoj, certainly, has been claimed,
But its development has stopped. Day by day, within 20 years,
Almost to the death, it gave on eight-nine performances in
Week. Its performances usually consisted from adapted, with
Each year all becoming simpler ballets.
Sometimes she had to dance on a scene of music halls, replacing
Performances of the trained doggies and anticipating the incendiary
Cancans of the bared maidens.
The grey-haired genius.
"PAVLOVA - not only the myth, a legend or a ballet symbol, - speaks
Known specialist in drama study Vitaly Woolf. - Pavlova is a ballet! It
Greatness consisted in a gift versatility - abilities
To dance incorporeal air Giselle, the brilliant masterly
Kitri, party in "the Daughter of the Pharaoh" with strong actor's scenes.
The nature of the ballerina was wonderful - divine feet, a long neck,
Unearthly beauty the person. By the way, it was never painted and in the end
Lives went absolutely grey-haired. I was in the Hague in hotel, in which
Has died Pavlova. Its number does not surrender till now. And in the city
Theatre many years went performance of memory of great Russian ballerina:
The curtain rose, the orchestra entered, and on a scene was nobody.
In an instant through darkness there was a ray of light, which
The movement symbolised a dying swan. Public,
zavorozhenno watching a ray, upon termination of performance
Dispersed in full silence... ".
Igor IZGARSHEV.
