My love for the "Ballet Russe", by Dear Nike


As I wrote in my introduction im in love with the Ballet Russes.
Surrialist Artist like Joan MirĂ³, Henri Mattisse and Giorgio de Cirico worked with the russian ballet and designed
scenery and costume for the productions. For example the Jeux d'enfants show with the Ballet russe de monte carlo
1932. The ballet follows the activities of toys and games that come to life, and the adventures of a child who, awakened by the noise the toys make, tries to take part in their secret life.
Miro designed a front curtain, a series of geometrical shapes and a backcloth to represent the child's nursery, and costumes many of which were unitards, an unusual item of dance clothing for the 1930s.
