Divertissement is a French term that translates to “entertainment” or “diversion” in English. In the context of art, particularly in ballet and music, it refers to a light, often informal performance or a short, diverting piece typically designed to entertain rather than convey a deep or serious message. In ballet, a divertissement is usually a sequence of dances that are performed as part of a larger work, such as an opera or a ballet, showcasing individual dancers’ skills and offering a break from the main narrative. The emphasis is on enjoyment and visual appeal, often featuring a variety of styles and themes, making it accessible and pleasing to audiences. In broader cultural contexts, divertissement connotes activities meant for relaxation and enjoyment, serving to provide a respite from more serious or demanding pursuits.
