Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Writing in 1829, a Russian critic referred to the art of ballet as an "impossible project"--impossible because it strives "to give an expressive language to body movements," while completely avoiding spoken dialogue. This impossibility generated an anxiety that, no less than the balletic triumphs typically addressed in historiography, has been fuelling ballet's existence to this day. Some critics of ballet, like Leo Tolstoy, were eager to see this art discontinuedfor good, which indeed could have happened. Impossible Project follows the ballet debates from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century, showing that it was the energy of survival, particularly feltby the French-trained ballet masters working in Russia, that turned ballet into something like a religion for its practitioners. The modernist dissent of the early twentieth century only reinforced the near-religious devotion to ballet, which was in turn carried back to the West by Russian ballet figures fleeing from the Revolution and its Soviet aftermath. Ballet--as an art form and an artwork--has always been a corporate operation whose dynamics is impossible to describein full from a single viewpoint. Impossible Project inspects ballet in the round and explores what its image was in the mind's eye of a hardened balletomane; a nameless corps de ballet danseuse; apolitically driven administrator; or a progressive-minded journalist and writer. Author Daria Khitrova puts Russian ballet in the context of the political, religious, and aesthetic debates of its times, and examines it as a changing institution looking from both the wings and the audience. How has ballet, an art form based on the 17th century French court dancing, survived into the 21st across the West and beyond? Impossible Project answers the question by examining Russian ballet as a changing institution from both the wings and the audience.
