Now the motif has even imprinted on choreography.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">A dance sequence with dancers\u2019 bodies evoking the famous interlocking C\u2019s is one part of \u201cCoco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon,\u201d now making its North American premiere at Atlanta Ballet through Feb. 17. The moment is just one of the ways in which the acclaimed choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa addresses the lingering, complex influence of her subject, the French designer Gabrielle \u201cCoco\u201d Chanel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">A tale of a strong-willed woman whose rags-to-riches life (1883-1971) included stunning success in a business environment dominated by men, the ballet has potential feminist resonance \u2014 all the more so because Chanel brought a new pragmatism, freedom and comfort to fashion, liberating women from their corsets. But a terpsichorean portrait of the couturier is also a potentially fraught project: She was notoriously antisemitic and a Nazi collaborator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">\u201cIt was important to share that dark chapter,\u201d Ochoa says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">The ballet \u201copens the door for interpretations, for more research, more conversations. That is what art is supposed to do,\u201d says Gennadi Nedvigin, artistic director of Atlanta Ballet, which has co-produced \u201cCoco Chanel\u201d with Hong Kong Ballet (where it premiered in 2023) and Queensland Ballet (where it\u2019s headed next).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">The show has its roots in Ochoa\u2019s professional relationship with Septime Webre, Hong Kong Ballet\u2019s artistic director. He knew her work from the 17 years he spent as artistic director of the Washington Ballet, which has performed her pieces, and he admired her flair for creating kaleidoscopic onstage patterns, surprising partnering moves and dramatic atmospheres. After taking the helm of Hong Kong Ballet in 2017, he looked for a way to collaborate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">A ballet about Chanel had been on Ochoa\u2019s bucket list. The Belgian-Colombian choreographer has created dances about other tenacious and complicated real-life women: Eva \u201cEvita\u201d Per\u00f3n. Frida Kahlo. Maria Callas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">\u201cI love diving into the backstories of people to understand what their drive and their fears are,\u201d especially women who \u201chad a lot of hardships and a lot of flaws and were judged,\u201d Ochoa says. (In a separate project, Ochoa will be curating a run of Washington Ballet performances this spring.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">Chanel\u2019s biography has inspired other art, including the 2009 movie \u201cCoco Before Chanel\u201d and the 1969 Broadway musical \u201cCoco,\u201d starring Katharine Hepburn. Ballet has gotten in on the action before, with choreographer Yuri Possokhov creating a 2019 one-act about Chanel for ballerina Svetlana Zakharova. A cottage industry of nonfiction books has mined Chanel\u2019s saga, and she\u2019s a character in Apple TV Plus\u2019s new series \u201cThe New Look.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p><span class=\"wpds-c-sFUaP wpds-c-sFUaP-jtHNGr-variant-interstitial wpds-c-sFUaP-iPJLV-css hide-for-print\"><a data-qa=\"interstitial-link\" data-testid=\"interstitial-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/newsletters\/style-memo\/?method=SURL&amp;location=ART&amp;itid=lk_interstitial_manual_18\">Sharp.

There\u2019s a long, fertile overlap between the realms of the catwalk and pas de chat: Fashion heavyweights including Christian Lacroix, Prada and Rodarte have designed ballet costumes, and ballerinas such as Margot Fonteyn have sported couture offstage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">Choreographer Ochoa does not identify as a fashionista; she was interested in Chanel the person, not the brand. Working with artistic collaborator Nancy Meckler, Ochoa distilled Chanel\u2019s story and set it to an original score composed by Peter Salem (the ballet \u201cThe Crucible\u201d). One scene recalls the hat-making business that launched the designer\u2019s career. In another, groups of flowerlike dancers conjure the development of Chanel No. 5 perfume.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">Kaplan designed more than 180 costumes (including multiples), some of which allude to Chanel couture while allowing for dance movement and avoiding outright duplication. \u201cYou are close, but you don\u2019t copy,\u201d Kaplan says. (The Chanel company has not been involved.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">The elegantly minimalist black-and-ivory packaging of Chanel No. 5 was an inspiration for the show\u2019s general look and color scheme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">In an expressionistic touch, the ballet includes not only a Chanel figure but also a Shadow-Chanel, who represents her ambition, determination and opportunism. \u201cThe shadow is really driving her,\u201d Ochoa says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">Exploring the darker side of the story, the ballet depicts Chanel\u2019s love affair with the Nazi officer Baron Hans G\u00fcnther von Dincklage in occupied France during World War II. Also portrayed is her effort to exploit the Nazi Aryanization laws to target the Jewish Wertheimer family, business partners of hers, whom she resented for having gained control of her perfume business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">Beyond the production, Atlanta Ballet has taken steps to acknowledge and contextualize \u201cthe very problematic aspects, the very dark side, of Coco Chanel,\u201d says the company\u2019s executive director, Tom West. For example, the company teamed with the city\u2019s William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum for a panel discussion exploring Chanel\u2019s troubling legacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">Webre says the ballet\u2019s lens on gender makes it a valuable complement to hoary dance staples.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">\u201cOur classical canon, in ballets like \u2018Giselle\u2019 and \u2018Swan Lake\u2019 and \u2018Sleeping Beauty,\u2019 present[s] a narrow view of women as vulnerable creatures who live their lives in relation to a man,\u201d he says. \u201cCoco, by contrast, is a complex, independent woman \u2014 with flaws. Deep flaws. But she lived her life on her own terms.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">When it comes to creating ballets, Ochoa says: \u201cI don\u2019t like fairy tales.
