Posed photograph of Serge Lifar and Alexandra Danilova in Swan Lake, revived by Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, 1926. This photograph was taken to promote the revival of The Swan Lake at the first night of the 'popular' season at the Lyceum Theatre, London, given by the Ballets Russes in November, December 1926. Swan Lake, described as a 'choreographic poem in 1 act' was the lake-side scene usually act II of the full ballet. The Morning Post had some reservations about the performances as the dancers had been ' experimenting too much in modernity to maintain the rigid accuracy and perfect technique indispensible in dancing of this kind' but did add Danilova 'was good and looked lovely'. Thechoreography was credited to Marius Petipa, music was by Piotr Tchaikovsky and the set and costumes were credited to Constanin Korovine.

It's so insane and funny to me that film directors of biopics feel the need to add fiction to make the film appear more interesting.
Like. why.
You don't need to come up with anything to make history more compelling.
WHY make anything up, when Friedrich Nietzsche had to buy fucking silk underwears for Richard Wagner once, Abraham Lincoln did wrestling, Victor Hugo lived in a street of his own name when he was alive, Alexandre Dumas fucking shut down a racist with an epic comeback, Edward VII had a sex chair, Tsar Nicholas II has nudes, Igor Stravinsky and Pablo Picasso were arrested for pissing in public together, Oskar Kokoschka commissioned an Alma Mahler fetish doll which he likely had sex with, Roald Dahl wrote some weird and questionable fetish-fanfic books, Salvador Dalí sold a blade of grass to Yoko Ono for $10 000 because he thought she could do witchcraft with a real strand of his hair, etc etc...
Do we REALLY need to make shit up when we have all these batshit stories. DO WE REALLY??????
#currently still experiencing whiplash after learning more about ballets russes dancers#and seeing that at serge lifar's 1958 duel with marquis de cuevas the marquis' witness was JEAN MARIE LE FUCKING PEN#DJAKZJSBSJB#going insane#anyways#history#history nerd#history facts#fun facts#classical music#art#art history#music history#ballets russes#and there's still SO MUCH more#scherzina ramble
