TWO BALLETS OF PAUL TCHELITCHEW
The article is devoted to two ballets of Pavel Tchelithew which are practically unknown in Russia - «Ode» by Nikolai Nabokov and«Wanderer» by F. Schubert. The text says very little about the choreography of these performances: in the first case, the choreographer is Leonid Myasin («Ode»), in the second - George Balanchine («Wanderer»). Tchelitchew’s contribution to the imaginative world of the performance cannot be underestimated: he was not only the author of costumes and scenery, but also the author of the detailed scenario of the ballet, which was mentioned in the poster and the program. The author of the article emphasizes close relationship of scenography and easel investigations of the artist. The performances of Pavel Tchelitchew entered the history of theatre due to the unique use of light, which opened new perspectives in lighting of performance.
