Latviešu Bakalaura un vienlaikus jaunrades darbs veltīts trīs grācijām, kuras gan ir aprakstītas visos mākslas vēstures kursos un veido graciozitātes ideālu mūsu kultūrā, tomēr ne to izcelsme, ne attiecības savā starpā, ne šodien pieejamie apraksti nav viennozīmīgi. No vienas puses, tās līdzinās mūzām, no otras, – horām, bet vienlaicīgi iemieso sevī cēluma un cieņas etalonu, kas reti parādās starp romiešu un grieķu dieviem. Romiešu grācijas ir pārņemtas no grieķu haritām. Termins „grācija“ ir cēlies no romiešu jauneklības, skaistuma un graciozitātes dievietēm (Gratiae), kas savukārt sengrieķu mitoloģijā tika pārstāvētas ar htoniskiem spēkiem - dievietēm (Kharities), kas savā izcelsmē ir saistītas gan ar auglīgajām zemes stihijām, gan saules spožumu un enerģiju, vissbeidzot tās uzstājās kā Zeva meitas. |
Angļu Contemporary performance of Three Graces is a re-invention of the image of three ancient Goddesses’ iconic depicting tradition. Creative work presents a new dynamic point of view on the phenomenon substantiated by profound theoretical research. The Three Graces are minor Goddesses of charm and beauty in Roman mythology. As the further research unveiled they are not only canonized as beauty paradigm but are holders of an elusive character that is recognized rather sensuously. Also known by ancient Greeks as Kharities they represented an embodiment of a complex ethical concept. Their origin is rooted on the basis of valuing others and the notion of reciprocity. At an early point portrayed as three black stones they seem to have been representations of forces of nature and natural and human fertility. Broad theoretical research of the Goddesses has a great impact on artistic decisions and fundamentally supports the creative work. As a red thread, Kharis based interpretations of the reciprocal good-willed relationships connects all the elements of the show. Contemporary dance and dancers, a capella music and singers, stage design and props, as well as lights and costumes constitute the web of mutual respect and gratitude. The new choreographic definition of the Graces is a dramaturgically coherent yet sensuously fulfilling polyphony of self-sufficient voices that share the stage for a short period of time, only to disperse in the everyday routine. |
