Mosaic. Ballet. The Nutcracker

Who is the book "Mosaic. Ballet. Nutcracker" written for? For children and adults; for those who are ready to travel in time and to different countries; for those who love history, art and those who are not interested in them at all. Isn't it interesting to know why the priests of Ancient Egypt danced, and Greek sandals are relatives of ballet shoes; why the French king Louis XIV received the nickname the Sun King, and the four horses in Apollo's chariot, decorating the Bolshoi Theater, have names; how does snow fall on stage and what is a tyutu, edging, pocket, peephole, hatch-fall? And not only! After all, ballet is a country full of wonders. A performance in it, like in a children's game called "Mosaic", is formed only if literature, music, painting, the skill of the choreographer and artists are harmoniously combined with each other. This book will tell you about this and much more. And so that no one gets lost in the centuries and the theatrical labyrinth, a well-known fairy-tale character named the Nutcracker is given to help travelers. Bon voyage!
