The visual beauty of Michael Fokine's Scheherazade.....
#the way everything is divided between tones of blue and red#sensuality and spirituality the orientalism....#dreamlike existence of antique noble#magnificently luxuries manner remote from reality#looking through the mirror since you cannot look directly into the eyes of the orients#they have some kind of strange appearance; and their eyes play as a kind of instrument to portray their inner characteristics#aka vathek...#anyway....#ballet russes#nikolai rimsky korsakov
