Jahrhunderts ver\u00f6ffentlicht Dance for You Magazine dieses Interview-Portr\u00e4t von Mihaela VIERU aus dem Jahr 2008 erneut. Entstanden nach einem zweit\u00e4gigen Gespr\u00e4ch in Genf, gew\u00e4hrt der Text intime Einblicke in Leben, Denken und Werk von Roland Petit. Die Redaktion versteht diese Wiederver\u00f6ffentlichung als Hommage an einen K\u00fcnstler, der die Tanzwelt mit unverwechselbarem Stil und kreativer K\u00fchnheit gepr\u00e4gt hat \u2013 und als Geschenk an unsere Leserinnen und Leser.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Er ist eine Legende, ein <em>monstre sacr\u00e9<\/em>, dem man mit Demut und Bewunderung begegnet. Einer, der wie aus jenem Stoff gewoben scheint, aus dem Tr\u00e4ume bestehen. \u201eDer Tanz war mein heiliger Weg\u201c, sagt er.<\/p>\n<p>Warum faszinieren uns seine Ballette bis heute? Wenn man an die gro\u00dfen Sch\u00f6pfer des 20. Jahrhunderts denkt \u2013 Michail Fokine, Leonid Massine, George Balanchine, Kenneth MacMillan, Antony Tudor, Frederick Ashton, John Cranko, Maurice B\u00e9jart oder Jerome Robbins \u2013 nehmen Roland Petits Werke eine ganz eigene, un\u00fcbersehbare Stellung ein. Klassisches Ballett verbindet er auf unverwechselbare Weise mit modernem Ausdruckstanz. Elegant und witzig zugleich, rasant und voller Theaterzauber, \u00fcberrascht er immer wieder: durch akrobatische Elemente, durch Requisiten aus dem Alltag, durch einen Sinn f\u00fcr das Spektakul\u00e4re. Er ist ein Kind der \u201enouvelle vague\u201c des Tanzes der 1950er Jahre \u2013 und ein K\u00fcnstler, der sich konsequent von der reinen Klassik abwandte, um einen eigenen Stil zu erschaffen.<\/p>\n<p>Die Schriftstellerin Edmonde Charles-Roux sagte einmal \u00fcber ihn: \u201eDie St\u00e4rke von Roland Petit? Er bleibt unber\u00fchrt von der Mode \u2013 und interessiert sich doch f\u00fcr das Aktuelle. Er macht keine Zugest\u00e4ndnisse. Er ist das <em>enfant terrible<\/em> des Jean Cocteau.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Ich treffe den Maestro am Nachmittag bei der Probe mit Svetlana Lunkina.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-66926 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/en\/digital-camera-3-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0597.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-68816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0597.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0597-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0597-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0597-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0597-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0597-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0597-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-68816'>\n\t\t\t\tDIGITAL CAMERA\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/en\/digital-camera-2-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0596.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-68814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0596.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0596-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0596-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0596-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0596-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0596-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0596-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-68814'>\n\t\t\t\tDIGITAL CAMERA\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_68817\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68817\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtg.ch\/#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-68817 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0599-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0599-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0599-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0599-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0599-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0599-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0599-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0599.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-68817\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Gen\u00e8ve<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ihc-locker-wrap\"><div  class='ihc_locker_2'><div class='lock_content'><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Imagine_website_Digital_Exklusiv.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Weiterlesen mit Digital+<\/h2>\n<p>Alle Formate in einem ABO.<br \/>\nBequem auf Ihrem mobilen Endger\u00e4t Ihrer Wahl.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alle Artikel online lesen<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum ePaper<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum Online-Archiv von Dance for You<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Jetzt digital freischalten!<\/h4>\n<\/div><div class='lock_buttons'>\n  <!-- Login Form -
