In the creative volcano of the modernist experiments, Diaghilev developed an art programme revolving around dance while drawing upon choreographers, dancers, composers, visual artists, libretto writers and set designers. If modern dance represents the spirit of a certain modernity in a vortex, encapsulated, according to Baudelaire in the &#8220;transient, fleeting, contingent&#8221; formula, the Ballets Russes showcased total modernity. Devoted to the fusion of the archaic and the avant-garde, they signaled the transitory and the immovable which today articulates modern thought. From the arts of motion to fashion design, from music to sculpture, from set design to painting, from the decorative arts to the cinema, the Ballets Russes constitute a paradigm of the mutually illuminating project that is found in a modernity which still always remains incomplete.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition &#8220;The Ballets Russes: Modern times after Diaghilev\u201d celebrates the centenary of the Lisbon <em>season<\/em> by problematising the artistic modernity of Sergei Diaghilev&#8217;s project and summoning contemporary artists.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition correspondingly focuses on three core sections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>celebrating the troupe&#8217;s Portuguese <em>saison<\/em>, at the Museu Nacional do Teatro e Dan\u00e7a, entitled <em>Ballets Russes in Portugal<\/em>;<\/li>\n<li>the perennial nature of the incomplete project of the modernities that it encapsulates, expressed in the <em>Ballets Russes&#8217; Modernisms and Modern Times<\/em> collection exhibited at the Galeria Millenium, and particularly in the original costumes of <em>L\u2019Apr\u00e8s-Midi d\u2019un Faune<\/em> and <em>Le Sacre du Printemps<\/em>, which go on display for the first time in Portugal;<\/li>\n<li>and <em>Ballets Russes After Hours<\/em> that revolves around the commissions made to two Portuguese artists, whose proposals continue the incomplete dialogue of modernity in our time, showcasing works that derive from a visual arts project at Galeria Millenium and a choreography\/performance at Pal\u00e1cio Foz.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Exhibition Data
