The thesis «Odette| ideal destructions" is an interpretation of the classical choreography of 1871, the Swan Lake. This interpretation, through the original plot of the myth, alternating between the two spatial conditions, the lake and castle, and the relationships formed in these two environments, is trying to revisit issues of symmetry and idealization today. The axis of symmetry, remaining part of the sublimation process during the Renaissance and Romanticism, becomes the tool of the present reinterpretation of symmetry.
The Villa Rotonda of A. Palladio, the ultimate example of symmetrical design and a personal algorithm, interact and produce a minimum design area, the surface. The surface is multiplied, destroyed and hence composes a score of the new space and motion choreography, which is constantly redefined. But also, the relationship of the bodies of the two heroes is redefined. The same means of idealization, similar to the process of idealization of the classical dancer, the axis of symmetry, intervenes both to the structure of the body and the process of integration /idealization of both sexes. The new body, more fluid, completely idealized and finally dehumanized, brings back the question of integration.
Overall, the process of idealization and destruction in reverse, is trying to be read through a performance of the modern heroine. The hybrid and idiosyncratic space which is eventually produced, does not pretend to give absolute answers, but rather to make a nostalgic question about the role of idealization today and its design principles.
