You know what?
I’m gonna say it.
I like Nureyev’s Nutcracker.
There.

#rudolf noureev
#yes the choreography for grand pas de deux is quite shit
#ie. Nureyev was nureyev-ing a bit too much even for my taste
#but I just LOVE the dark unsettling downright creepy story
#especially in the midst of all the fluff and candy canes and christmas' cheer
#like give me a freudian nutcracker
#and give it to me right about now!
#is it weird the old one-eyed limping uncle turns Clara's prince in the act II?
#you bet it is
#it's creepy
#it's disturbing
#criminal even
#it has no business being in a “christmas fairy story”
#but guess what
#that's precisely why I LOVE it
#it is quite literally the only nutcracker I am willing to be interested in
#because balletomane confession
#I hate nutcracker
#with a passion
#it's stupid
#it doesn't make sense
#and on top of that there are kids everywhere
#(no
#so there is a nutcracker that leaves families with children horrified?
#alarmed or upset?
