Ivan PUTRV: ‘My heart belongs to Kyiv’
ДеÐÑ – Apr 24, 2007
In London Putrov has frequently performed in La Sylphide together with Alina Cojocaru a Romanian graduate of the Kyiv College of Choreography. The role of James is one of Putrov’s hobbyhorses so the dancer had something to show the exacting Kyiv audience. His dancing was technically faultless and emotionally perfect and his performance earned him lengthy standing ovations. After his triumphant performance in Kyiv the 27-year-old dancer shared the most memorable events of his life with The Day. You dance the part of James as though you do it every day. Your refined movements and uninhibited mise en scenes leave one convinced that this is your natural state. Do you often dance this part in La Sylphide in London? Putrov: ften is a notion that sometimes doesn’t apply to the London stage… You know ballets staged in London and Kyiv have a lot in common including the props. There are minor choreographic differences so I felt at home on the National pera stage especially since I had performed twice in La Sylphide with my regular partner the Brazilian Roberta Marquez in January. This happened after an 11-month break during which I did not perform at all because of my serious leg injury. You were out of circulation for so long. Weren’t you afraid that the public would forget you? Weren’t you afraid of what would happen tomorrow? Putrov: In the West when a performer is injured he gets insurance to live on. For example there is a rehabilitation center at the Royal Ballet in London. There are gyms with special trainers.
