Clotilde et Alexandre Sakharoff (1927). Philippe Petit (French, 1900-1945). Poster. Printer: Imp. Crété, Paris.

The dancers are deliberately kept faceless in this delicately conceived poster—just graceful bodies and swirls of color, as they might well appear in their audience’s imagination. “For almost forty years until retirement in 1953 [they] toured Europe continuously and South America frequently in what Sakharoff called ‘abstract mime.’ Despite the description, the two selected intensely dramatic, emotional themes for their often exotic, richly costumed dances.”

Pregevole volume pubblicato in occasione della mostra organizzata dal Comune di Argenta (Ferrara) nel 1991. Clotilde e Alexandre Sakharoff sono stati danzatori famossimi nella prima metà del Novecento, quando la danza partecipava in pieno alle istanze di rinnovamento formale avanzate dalle avanguardie. Alexandre fu anche un grande scenografo e costumista. Questo volume documenta con eccezionale ampiezza di contributi e di materiali iconografici (disegni, figurini, bozzetti, costumi, fotografie) la vita e l'arte dei Sakharoff, restituendo un poco del profumo irripetibile che fu il loro e di tutta un'epoca

Clotilde von Derp was a German expressionist dancer, an early exponent of modern dance. Her career was spent essentially dancing together with her husband Alexander Sakharoff. Both Sacharoff and Clotilde were known for their transvestite costumes.
