EDITORS COMMENTS
Serge Lifar, the renowned Russian-born French dancer and choreographer, is captured mid-performance in this stunning photograph from the 1930s. The image showcases Lifar in the one-act ballet "Icare," where he brought the mythological character of Icarus to life. Dressed in a white costume adorned with intricate details, Lifar embodied the son of Daedalus, the inventor who created the wings that allowed Icarus to fly. The mythological tale of Icarus and Daedalus is a poignant one, where Icarus' hubris led him to fly too close to the sun, causing his wings to melt and ultimately resulting in his tragic fall to earth. In this ballet adaptation, Lifar's expressive movements and graceful technique conveyed the emotion and drama of the myth, leaving audiences captivated. The photograph, taken during the 1937 production, captures Lifar at a pivotal moment in the act, as he appears to have just realized that his wings have failed him. The corps de ballet can be seen in the background, adding to the theatricality of the scene. The image, with its dramatic lighting and stark contrasts, perfectly encapsulates the historical significance and artistic beauty of classical ballet in the 1930s. This photograph is a testament to Lifar's exceptional talent and his ability to breathe life into mythological characters through dance. It is a captivating reminder of the rich history and artistry of ballet, and the enduring power of storytelling through movement.
