Name Isadora Duncan in Russia it is well known. The talented dancer went down in the history of world art as a courageous experimenter. At the same time, Isadora's tremendous success did not bring personal happiness: despite the fact that thousands of fans dreamed of her, she did not manage to live a happy family life. The dancer was haunted by tragedies and disappointments, there is a version that grief overtook her because of ancestral curse …
Believe it or not in the existence of the supernatural is a purely personal matter. In numerous biographies of Isadora Duncan, one can find mention of an interesting fact. As a teenager, the girl dreamed of a brilliant artistic career and once went to a fortune teller to find out what was destined for her. The seer promised that she would be able to achieve her goals, and the result would exceed all expectations. However, in her opinion, Isadora was disappointed in love. The reason for this was the ancestral curse, it was this curse that should have doomed Isadora to loneliness and take away all dear people from her.
Professionally, Isadora Duncan really achieved a lot: she gained world fame, her dance performance was treated differently (scolding and approving of a special erotic manner), she had students, and for many she was an idol. It was not easy to find happiness among thousands of fans, and the girl was burned more than once.
Isadora had to go through a lot in love: an affair with the Polish artist Ivan Mirotsky ended in betrayal (the man was married, but hid this fact); the connection with the actor Oscar Berezhi was destroyed due to his career (Oscar was the initiator of the separation, he left Isadora for filming in Spain).
Isadora Duncan had children, but with their fathers - director Gordon Craig and entrepreneur Patrice Singer - it didn't come to marriage either. The only one who became the official husband of the brilliant dancer is the Russian poet Sergei Yesenin.
However, life took not only men from Isadora. The loss of children turned out to be much more terrible. If men simply left her life, then the son and daughter died in a terrible accident. After burying them, Isadora Duncan barely returned to normal life, and was forced to plunge headlong into work in order to distract herself from the constant heartbreaking thoughts. She even made an attempt to give birth to another child, but he lived for several days and died: fate finally deprived Isadora of hope for a happy motherhood.
The meeting with Sergei Yesenin, it seemed, was supposed to bring happiness, but instead, their family had constant strife, scandals, both from time to time experienced creative crises. Their story ended tragically - the poet committed suicide, and Isadora bitterly mourned his departure. However, she was destined to outlive a truly beloved man for a short time. Two years later, Isadora Duncan was destined to die. The end of her scarlet scarf was wrapped around the wheel of the car in which she went for a walk in Nice, and the dancer died from a broken neck.
The horrifying prophecy of the fortune teller came true: having received world fame, Isadora could not find personal happiness, she really lost everyone who was dear to her. Even stormy romance with Sergei Yesenin ended in a tragic ending.
