DVD Review: La Sylphide, first romantic ballet.
Summary: 4 Stars
The early nineteenth century marks the advent of a unique style and unforgettable dance, the romantic ballet. The dance of that time looking for a way to affirm, and the Romantic style was the answer and the reason for the popularity of ballet. Elements such as the supernatural, death by overwhelming passion, the ideal woman fell in love and continue to this day. Not only in the realm of ideas that the ballet progresses. Appear for the first time the romantic tutus, translucent fabrics and translated into several layers give the idea of lightness of the dancers. For the first time you use a pointe shoe, the dancers seemed to float. New technical resources by the staging allowed the dancers fly, literally, across the stage. All this culminated in formulas that would be followed and repeated in many other ballets. Success guaranteed.
Filippo Taglioni choreographed La Sylphide for her daughter, the great ballerina Marie Taglioni. Despite the enormous success in the nineteenth century, the ballet has fallen into oblivion in the twentieth century. Pierre Lacotte made a deep study of the dance of the season and restaged the ballet in 1971 for the Opéra de Paris. Choreography redone and thought to his wife, the dancer Gislaine Thesmar. Lacotte this time seems to have bothered with the original choreography. His version has steps and techniques that were not even imagined at the time. Complex and far-fetched to current standards, Lacotte takes creative liberties in excess, both show the virtuosos of the dancers and falls into exaggeration.
The version of the Paris Opera on DVD is recorded based on the choreography of Lacotte. The production is pure whimsy, fills the eyes with the colors and vibe it conveys. The sets are lavish, impeccable costumes, vibrant light. The performance of soloists "étoiles" is overwhelming. Aurélie Dupont is a dancer with perfect steps, conveys the emotion and the fragility of his character. Gani Mathieu holds strength, virility when needed and a passion that enchants. All this combined with a great technique. The corps de ballet of the Paris Opera is need in this 2004 version. We have a video of great plasticity, which charms the beauty of colors, production and choreography. Lacotte play to the audience, and pulls warm applause. But all he does is incompatible with modern and original work.
Media that sank in a short time, the Laser Disc brings us an interesting version of La Sylphide, ballet Kiev 80s. This version is much closer to the original nineteenth century. His choreography is simple, their numbers are lighter and all the technological stuff Paris does not exist. A choreography that did not seek the blockbuster, but a rescue of the original. Despite the success of this ballet, the question remains: why did he fall into oblivion? One answer is in the music of Jean Schneitzhoeffer (nomezinho complicated). Lack a catchy theme, one that stays in memory, which delights the audience. His music is simple, a lack of success melody. The ballet Giselle is a theme that drives almost the entire plot, so it is in repertory until the present day, while La Sylphide is past.

O início do século XIX marca o advento de um estílo único e inesquecível de dança, o balé romântico. A dança dessa época procurava um caminho para a afirmação, e o estílo romântico foi a resposta e um dos motivos da popularidade do balé. Elementos como o sobrenatural, a morte pela paixão avassaladora, a mulher ideal caíram no gosto e continuam até os dias de hoje. Não é só no campo das idéias que o balé evolui. Aparecem pela primeira vez os tutus românticos, tecidos translúcidos e transpostos em várias camadas dão a idéia de leveza das bailarinas. Pela primeira vez se utiliza a sapatilha de ponta, as bailarinas pareciam flutuar. Novos recursos técnicos na cenografia permitiram que as dançarinas voassem, literalmente, pelo palco. Tudo isso culminou em fórmulas que seriam seguidas e repetidas em diversos outros balés. Sucesso garantido.
Filippo Taglioni coreografou La Sylphide para sua filha, a grande bailarina Marie Taglioni. Apesar do enorme sucesso no século XIX, o balé caiu no esquecimento no século XX. Pierre Lacotte fez um profundo estudo da dança da época e remontou o balé, em 1971, para a Opéra de Paris. Coreografia refeita e pensada para sua esposa, a bailarina Gislaine Thesmar. Lacotte dessa vez parece não ter se importado com a coreografia original. Sua versão possuí passos e técnicas que nem eram imaginados na época. Complexa e rebuscada para os padrões vigentes, Lacotte toma liberdades criativas em excesso, quer mostrar as virtuoses dos bailarinos e cai no exagero.
A versão da Opéra de Paris gravada em DVD é baseada na coreografia de Lacotte. A produção é puro capricho, enche os olhos pelas cores e vibração que transmite. Os cenários são suntuosos, os figurinos impecáveis, a luz vibrante. A performance dos solistas "étoiles" é arrasadora. Aurélie Dupont é uma bailarina com passos perfeitos, transmite a emoção e a fragilidade de sua personagem. Mathiou Ganio é detentor de força, virilidade quando necessário e uma paixão que encanta. Tudo isso aliado a uma grande técnica. O corpo de baile da Opéra de Paris está preciso nessa versão de 2004. Temos um vídeo de grande plasticidade, que encanta pela beleza das cores, da produção e da coreografia. Lacotte joga para o público, e arranca aplausos calorosos. Mas tudo que ele faz é moderno e incompatível com a obra original.
Uma mídia que naufragou em pouco tempo, o Laser Disc nos traz uma versão interessante de La Sylphide, do balé de Kiev dos anos 80. Essa versão é muito mais próxima ao original do século XIX. Sua coreografia é mais simples, seus números são mais leves e toda a parafernália tecnológica de Paris não existe. Uma coreografia que não buscou o sucesso de público e sim um resgate do original. Apesar do sucesso desse balé, fica a pergunta: por que ele caiu no esquecimento? Uma das respostas está na música de Jean Schneitzhoeffer (nomezinho complicado). Falta um tema cativante, aquele que fica na memória, que encanta o público. Sua música é simples, falta uma melodia de sucesso. O balé Giselle tem um tema que conduz quase todo o enredo, por isso ele está no repertório até os dias de hoje, enquanto que La Sylphide é parte do passado.
