EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment from the iconic 1926 production of Diaghilev's Petroushka, performed at the Palace Theatre in London. Choreographed by Michel Fokine, decorated by Alexandre Benois, and set to music by Igor Stravinsky, this groundbreaking ballet premiered in Paris in 1911 as part of the Ballets Russes repertoire. By 1926, the production had reached London, bringing the vibrant energy and innovation of the Russian avant-garde to the British stage. In this scene, the titular character, Petroushka, stands center stage, surrounded by the colorful and whimsical puppets that populate his world. The influence of jazz music, a popular trend of the 1920s, is evident in the lively, syncopated movements of the dancers. Petroushka's jealousy and rage are palpable as he watches the Shadows flirt with the beautiful Ballerina. The intricate decor by Benois, with its bold colors and intricate details, transports the audience to a fantastical realm. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Diaghilev's Petroushka and the enduring impact of the Ballets Russes on the world of dance. The production's fusion of modernity, art, and music continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists to this day.
