Brat\u0159i Nicholasov\u00e9, Fayard a Harold, byli legend\u00e1rn\u00ed tane\u010dn\u00ed t\u00fdm, kter\u00fd zanechal nesmazatelnou stopu ve sv\u011bt\u011b z\u00e1bavy. Jejich mimo\u0159\u00e1dn\u00fd talent a jedine\u010dn\u00fd styl uchv\u00e1tily publikum po v\u00edce ne\u017e osm desetilet\u00ed a vynesly jim obdiv tane\u010dn\u00edch ikon, jako jsou Gene Kelly, George Balanchine a Michail Bary\u0161nikov.<\/p>\n\n
Brat\u0159i Nicholasov\u00e9 se narodili ve Philadelphii a vyr\u016fstali v rodin\u011b pono\u0159en\u00e9 do um\u011bn\u00ed. Jejich rodi\u010de vystupovali ve vaudeville, co\u017e mlad\u00e9 bratry sezn\u00e1milo se \u0161irokou \u0161k\u00e1lou afroamerick\u00fdch tane\u010dn\u00edch styl\u016f. Fayardova bystr\u00e1 pozorovac\u00ed schopnost a talent pro napodobov\u00e1n\u00ed mu umo\u017enily zvl\u00e1dnout tyto kroky, kter\u00e9 pak nau\u010dil sv\u00e9ho mlad\u0161\u00edho bratra Harolda.<\/p>\n\n
P\u0159esto\u017ee nem\u011bli form\u00e1ln\u00ed vzd\u011bl\u00e1n\u00ed, p\u0159irozen\u00fd talent a atletick\u00e9 schopnosti bratr\u016f Nicholasov\u00fdch z nich ud\u011blaly v\u00fdjime\u010dn\u00e9 tane\u010dn\u00edky. Po\u010d\u00e1tkem 30. let 20. stolet\u00ed byli hlavn\u00ed hv\u011bzdou v proslul\u00e9m Cotton Clubu v Harlemu, kde p\u0159edv\u00e1d\u011bli sv\u00e9 skoky, salta a \u0161pag\u00e1ty, kter\u00e9 pop\u00edraly gravitaci.<\/p>\n\n
Pov\u011bst bratr\u016f Nicholasov\u00fdch se rychle roz\u0161\u00ed\u0159ila na Broadway, kde hr\u00e1li v \u00fasp\u011b\u0161n\u00fdch p\u0159edstaven\u00edch, jako jsou \u201eThe Ziegfeld Follies of 1936\u201c a \u201eBabes in Arms\u201c. Jejich jedine\u010dn\u00e1 sm\u011bs atleti\u010dnosti, elegance a komedi\u00e1ln\u00edho na\u010dasov\u00e1n\u00ed z nich ud\u011blala senzaci.<\/p>\n\n
Navzdory sv\u00e9mu \u00fasp\u011bchu na Broadwayi \u010delili brat\u0159i Nicholasov\u00e9 v Hollywoodu rasov\u00fdm p\u0159ek\u00e1\u017ek\u00e1m. Ve v\u011bt\u0161in\u011b sv\u00fdch film\u016f byli odsunuti do \u201especi\u00e1ln\u00edch \u010d\u00edsel\u201c a nikdy nedostali hlavn\u00ed role, kter\u00e9 si zaslou\u017eili. P\u0159esto zanechali trval\u00fd dojem sv\u00fdmi nezapomenuteln\u00fdmi tane\u010dn\u00edmi kreacemi ve filmech jako \u201eCesta do Argentiny\u201c a \u201eBou\u0159liv\u00e9 po\u010das\u00ed\u201c.<\/p>\n\n
Ve 40. letech 20. stolet\u00ed se brat\u0159i Nicholasov\u00e9 kone\u010dn\u011b do\u010dkali \u0161ance zaz\u00e1\u0159it ve velk\u00e9 hollywoodsk\u00e9 produkci \u201ePir\u00e1t\u201c. Gene Kelly trval na jejich \u00fa\u010dasti, p\u0159esto\u017ee studio p\u016fvodn\u011b cht\u011blo omezit jejich mluven\u00e9 role. V \u201ePir\u00e1tovi\u201c brat\u0159i p\u0159edvedli sv\u00e9 bezkonkuren\u010dn\u00ed akrobatick\u00e9 dovednosti a inspirovali budouc\u00ed tane\u010dn\u00ed legendy, jako je Donald O’Connor.<\/p>\n\n
Vliv bratr\u016f Nicholasov\u00fdch se roz\u0161\u00ed\u0159il daleko za hranice jejich vlastn\u00edch vystoupen\u00ed. Jejich inovativn\u00ed choreografie a atletick\u00e9 schopnosti inspirovaly nespo\u010det tane\u010dn\u00edk\u016f, v\u010detn\u011b Boba Fosse a Michaela Jacksona. Tak\u00e9 vyu\u010dovali na presti\u017en\u00edch instituc\u00edch, jako je Harvard a Radcliffe, a sd\u00edleli sv\u00e9 znalosti a v\u00e1\u0161e\u0148 pro tanec s budouc\u00edmi generacemi.<\/p>\n\n
Bruce Goldstein, \u0159editel programov\u00e1n\u00ed reperto\u00e1ru v newyorsk\u00e9m Film Forum, se zasv\u011btil zachov\u00e1n\u00ed d\u011bdictv\u00ed bratr\u016f Nicholasov\u00fdch. Sestavil sb\u00edrku vz\u00e1cn\u00fdch z\u00e1b\u011br\u016f z jejich dom\u00e1c\u00edch film\u016f, kter\u00e9 nab\u00edzej\u00ed pohled do jejich soukrom\u00e9ho \u017eivota a jedine\u010dn\u00e9ho tane\u010dn\u00edho stylu.<\/p>\n\n
Bohu\u017eel p\u016fvodn\u00ed 16mm filmy, ze kter\u00fdch byla tato videa po\u0159\u00edzena, byly ztraceny. Goldstein je znepokojen budoucnost\u00ed tohoto cenn\u00e9ho archivu, kter\u00fd nejen dokumentuje kari\u00e9ru bratr\u016f Nicholasov\u00fdch, ale tak\u00e9 poskytuje neoceniteln\u00e9 okno do d\u016fle\u017eit\u00e9 \u00e9ry v americk\u00e9 tane\u010dn\u00ed historii.<\/p>\n\n
Brat\u0159i Nicholasov\u00e9 byli skute\u010dn\u00ed pr\u016fkopn\u00edci, kte\u0159\u00ed zbo\u0159ili rasov\u00e9 bari\u00e9ry a zp\u016fsobili revoluci ve sv\u011bt\u011b tance.
