Continuing to view what was most likely the greatest number of preeminent ballerinas ever to have been assembled on a single stage within so brief a period of time, Volynsky recreates the vivid and increasingly vulnerable world of Petersburg/Petrograd/Leningrad’s storied Maryinsky Theater. In gripping language and with his characteristically admirable visual acuity and impressive mastery of dance vocabulary, Volynsky makes us feel as if we were ourselves spectators at these dance performances. With his male gaze always at work, Volynsky emblemizes the prophet who possesses lofty opinions about the past, present, and future of ballet in Russia, and with no less zeal as he fights any attempt to defeminize dance culture or marginalize the great art of classical dance. |
