"Petrushka" was his aesthetic peak

And you have not noticed the curtain, which was written by Alexander Benois, for the performance of "Petrouchka", devils, flying to St. Petersburg? How could both openly shown to the blind.

nerves Park clenched into a tight ball. He barely suppressed his impending panic. Restraining himself, he slowly turned the force field, and a blue balloon wrapped it.
  Park grabbed a pistol ,..., and felt comfortable lay in his hand prikladistaya handle. The monster was coming. Park pushed the button, and from the barrel broke straight ray ...
  It continued to approach.
  - Sgin, disappear! - Screamed Park. My nerves had started to explode.
  It is approached with a broad grin.
  - I like quiet protoplasm, - said it would, and the giant's mouth closed over the Park - but I like and active protoplasm.
  It is swallowed and then floated through another wall of the field, looking around in search of millions of units of protoplasm, as it did long ago.

And you talk about one setting?
The first in 1911 at the Chatelet saw two snakes (there is one), but not "flying to St. Petersburg, and in the room Petrushka. So the name of this list.
A sketch for the curtain to "Petrouchka" with the devil over Petersburg dates back to 1940 year and they are probably already over Leningrad fly. A?

tchaika, as well noticed. But it is the devils we can say pets - they are still flying in Gogol. Here and on the stage devil run (sketch for it certainly was). This, indeed, no words.

there and ran across the stage features (sketch for it certainly was).

Are you talking about Sketch Costumed-hell? And this is the Bolshoi Theatre in 1921.

Benoit had a view of pre-revolutionary period. That's how your knowledge sometimes interfere with understanding.

Benoit is due to pre-revolutionary period.

You think? Or maybe he meant the pre-war?

Not everyone can be more intelligent so: from sketches backs to the ballets something there to understand.

[tchaika]

Performance "Petrushka" was staged in 1911. This ballet was created by the very idea of Benoit and written them the same libretto. Premiered on June 13, 1911 at the Paris Theatre du Chatelet.
Production resumed in 1948 (April 7) at the Paris Grand Opera, where he hung this curtain with devils. Do not be distracted, look at the root of the problem.
December 12, 2009 at the Grand Opera House held 158-I representation, to the centennial of Russian ballet of Diaghilev, which I visited and saw this curtain. So this is now true: the devil fly over the city.

Alexander Benois wrote: "Everything flows, everything changes, everything must change, everything can not be changed. But through all the changes in the human artistic creation is a life-giving stream - the one that gives it the character of authenticity - it is sincerity. The real joy is obtained the knowledge that works, whether plastic images (including performance), whether musical sounds, whether of thought and expression, consistent with some inner prompting, or what is called inspiration.

You ought to know, of course, but what about the performances of 1920 at the Mariinsky Theatre (then called. Petrograd Opera and Ballet), and 1921 in the Large?

And where is he, the root of something?

Not surprisingly, in a world far more fans of Dali and Delvaux (and this is in the best case), rather than by Zurbaran, Chardin or Monticelli, of which very few people know.

The same can be said about music and literature. I will not be distributed, so as not to flood, but easy to understand things like right away, to fall in love with, say, "Pale Fire", you need to work more than if you read, I do not know, Hemingway.

The thing how filed, or that product. If this product, submit in the nude, of course fans will be minuscule, if the markups below will, and if it do a little mediocre, mediate it, no matter what, you can invite respected people, to choose a prominent place, in a word to make get-together, then there will be a success. No mediocrity is not successful in the majority, no matter what an audience.
