is a great piece of music, but the ballet is just laughable.
It is said that when it premiered, there were riots in the theater. I think that may have been exaggerated, but it was considered a laughingstock at the time.
As a child, I was a big fan of it (thanks to Disney’s Fantasia), but I had never seen the ballet. When I finally saw a performance of the original choreography, I completely understood the reaction of that original audience.
But Janis – how else can you guarantee a successful growing and hunting season, if you don’t sacrifice a maiden at the start of spring? Everybody knows that’s necessary. Don’t flaunt thousands of years of conventional wisdom!
Isn’t that what a stripper pole is for. old men drunkenly spending their money on naked woman dancing in front of them and then afterwords either pass out on the floor or kills someone driving home.
