July 2 in the banquet hall "Renaissance" held a summer Chess Ball, which continues a series of famous Odessa balls from Irina Davydova.
Guests of the ball were transferred to the fabulous atmosphere of the magic kingdom of the chessboard, where for a few hours the fantasy of the unusual black and white world came to life.
Thematic Odessa balls have long been known outside their hometown for their unique concept of supporting ancient historical traditions in the life of modern society. Creating a unique synthesis of historical, ancient balls and modernity with its information flows, Odessa balls have long taken their place in the cultural life of the city. Each ball attracts more and more guests who want to plunge into the unusual atmosphere of modern ball culture. And against the backdrop of the actively and successfully developing modern ball tradition of Odessa, it is the holding of the Summer Chess Ball that plays a very important role.
Chess Ball is one of the most unusual balls. Given in the strict traditions of the black and white dress code, which conducts a direct parallel with the world of intellectual chess, the Chess Ball includes not only the external palette of black and white color, but also a special style designed to emphasize the unusual and significance of modern ball culture.
It so happened that black and white tones always emphasize the taste and intellectual orientation of those who choose such an unusual angle. The black and white color range is always a mixture of taste and sophistication, style and beauty. But meanwhile it is also a magical world where, obeying a strictly delineated chessboard, one can make unusual moves in the most unexpected way. This is the magic. Maybe that's why the black and white magic of the chess ball makes us say that among the many themes of Odessa balls, this ball is one of the most unusual. After all, strictly sustained taste and style have always been the hallmark of modern Odessa balls.
A skilfully composed evening program, matched for every taste, was a pleasant surprise for people with a variety of preferences. Everyone could choose something for themselves, as if moving along a chessboard, where a black cage is always followed by a white.
The special value of the ball, as always, were interesting master classes in which each of the guests could try their hand. And it was absolutely not difficult, because the master class at the ball is always designed to easily teach the elements of the old dance of those who have never done this before.
The alternation of ancient dances and modern music left no one indifferent. One performance was replaced by another, and none of the guests left the room with boredom or in a bad mood.
Saving in the depths of my soul unforgettable moments of immersion in a fairy tale, in which, unlike the present, with the twelfth stroke of the clock, the world of surrounding magic was not destroyed, but remained unchanged. Forcing them to return again and again to the past evening in a black and white kingdom, where the black and white tones, complementing each other, created their own unique harmony.
Recently about Odessa balls are spoken quite often. This is emphasized by the fact that the Odessa balls have successfully occupied their niche in the diversity of the entire cultural life of the city.
A modern big city, in which there is a place not only for business weekdays, but for fairy tales and magic.
Where can I change a business suit for an air evening dress and move to a completely different period of time, in which life will necessarily shine with new colors.
For this, there are Odessa balls, with every new ball they win more and more new friends, and pleasing all those who have been from the very beginning. That's why all the fans of ball life are looking forward to every new ball which becomes not just another cultural entertainment, but a bright spark of life itself.
