Body and Soul


Uliana Lopatkina.

"The very essence of ballet is poetic, deriving from dreams rather than from reality. About the only reason for its existence is to enable us to remain in the world of fantasy and escape from the people we rub shoulders with in the street. Ballets are the dreams of poets taken seriously".

(Téophile Gautier, apud Jennifer Homans, Apollo's Angels. A History of ballet, New York, Random House, 2010, p. 135)
