On the occasion of the centenary of the Dance Symphony by Fedor Lopukhov, the legacy of symphonic ballet was discussed. Among the issues still to be resolved in this regard is the link between the symphonic line and the dramatic line of twentieth-century Russian choreographic art, as well as the real nature of its dual relationship with tradition and the Avant-garde. To this end, the essay analyses the change of direction given by the choreographer Fedor Lopuchov to his own production immediately after the failure of the Dance Symphony, exploring the work entitled The Red Whirlwind (1924) in its literary, musical, visual, and theatrical interweaving with the Russian Avant-garde.
