frissonne:muskming:The Red Detachment of Women / 红色娘子军 Chinese revolutionary ballet which premiered in 1964 and was made one of the Eight Model Operas which dominated the national stage during the Cultural Revolution. honestly yes. i love this ballet. it’s really weird and dramatic and i think everyone is sleeping on the technical level of chinese dancers in this era like too bad the political situation severed their dance scene from the rest of the world bc these dancers a.) didn’t get the recognition they deserved b.) didn’t get to do any repetoire??? like anything depicting romantic love (ie all the classics) was banned??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCxE5UirSRk !!!!!! highly recommended -- source link
