Abstract
I. Stravinsky's "Sacred Spring" was the culmination of the avant-garde searches of the Russian ballet of the early twentieth century, it was naturally anticipated by the previous development of Russian music and choreography. The analytical generalizations proposed in this article are related first of all to the disclosure of the aggression complex as original essence of the last century. Since manifestations of aggressiveness are unthinkable outside of active action, the "investigation" of this complex begins with the consideration of images of energy and the dynamic element in general, where, in turn, rhythm was the primary factor. Other factors serving the embodiment of this complex were the Scythian-barbarian principle, ritualism, pantheism and archaic. The essence of what is happening here is the representation of certain processes of modern reality, presented in a metaphorical and specifically hyperbolized form on an avant-garde stylistic basis.
Keywords
