Heroic themes interpreted by Ukrainian choreographers of the second half of the 20th century using the example of ballet «Spartacus»
Abstract
The purpose of the research is to analyze heroic themes in Ukrainian ballet of the 20th century using the example of the ballet of A. Hachaturyan «Spartacus». Methodology of the work includes application of comparatively historical, structurally-functional, semiotic and other culturological methods. The scientific novelty of the publication lies in shaping a new opinion about domestic artists of the soviet period and their work on heroic images. Conclusions. Real historical accidents were used as a basis for the «Spartacus». M. Volkov has founded them out from the Plutachs and Appians work. From 1960 till 1970 the ballet had been staged in six leading theatres in ten choregraphic editions, which were written to the music of A. Hachaturyan, in adaptation of M. Tregubov, M. Koryagin, V. Vronskiy, A. Shekera, I. Chernyshov and L. Voskresenskaya. Nowadays «Spartacus» is still staged in the National Opera House of Ukraine named after Taras Shevchenko, despite the low interest to the music of the soviet period.
