Lujo Davičo

Abstract

U okviru aktivnosti „Zoom Šabata“, u organizaciji Jevrejske opštine Beograd i neposrednoj tehničkoj realizaciji Rake-Rahamima Levija, 1. decembra 2023. godine gost i predavač “Zooma” bila je Saša Brajović, istoričarka umetnosti, redovni profesor na Odeljenju za istoriju umetnosti Filozofskog fakulteta Univerziteta u Beogradu. Predavanje je bilo o životu i umetničkom radu Luja Daviča. Lujo Davičo (1908-1942) bio je baletski igrač, koreograf i pedagog, antifašista i učesnik Narodnooslobodilačkog pokreta. Njegovo ime poznato je u kulturnom životu Beograda. Prva i najznačajnija baletska škola osnovana u Jugoslaviji 1948, od 1960. godine nosi ime Luja Daviča. Ali, njegova ličnost, život i smrt nisu bili predmet istraživačke pažnje, te su ostali malo poznati. Za razliku od obilja informacija koje se mogu dobiti o školi „Lujo Davičo“, one o ličnosti Luja Daviča svode se na nekoliko rečenica. Naučna monografija “Lujo Davičo: fragmenti života” autorke Saše Brajović koju je objavio “Clio” 2019. godine to je promenila.

As part of the "Zoom Shabbat" activity, organized by the Jewish Community of Belgrade and the technical support of Raka-Rahamim Levi, on December 1, 2023, the guest and lecturer was Saša Brajović, art historian, full professor at the Department of Art History of the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Belgrade. The lecture was about the life and artistic work of Lujo Davič. Lujo Davičo (1908-1942) was a ballet dancer, choreographer and pedagogue, anti-fascist and participant in the National Liberation Movement. His name is well known in the cultural life of Belgrade. The first and most important ballet school founded in Yugoslavia in 1948 has been named after Lujo Davičo since 1960. But his personality, life and death were unknown and not the subject of research attention. Unlike the abundance of information that can be obtained about the "Lujo Davičo" school, those about Lujo Davičo's personality are reduced to a few sentences. The scientific monograph "Lujo Davičo: fragments of life" by Saša Brajović, published by "Clio" in 2019, changed that.
