Sujet Production: Petrushka (original version 1911) – Devil’s clownery
The Mariinsky Ballet joins the Müncher Philharmoniker under the direction of Valery Gergiev in a performance of “Petrushka” in Stravinsky's original 1911 version. The ballet is preceded by Stravinsky's Symphonies of Wind Instruments. At the heart of “Petrushka” is a deadly love triangle among magical puppets: the clown-like puppet Petrushka loves the beautiful ballerina, who herself prefers the swashbuckling Moor. Their story plays out at Carnival festivities in St. Petersburg of the 1830s, and is structured in four tableaux that transport us between the "real" world of the fair and the supposedly fantastical world of the puppets. But the grisly end of the ballet leaves us questioning who are the puppets and who is the puppet master...
