harlock lifespan across the series: i used to be a punk army rebel but now i'm just a drunk depressed whore

in order : Arcadia of my Youth, Cosmo Warrior Zero, Endless Orbit SSX, SPCH 1978, Endless Odyssey, SPCH 2013

i took some creative liberties with the pre-army times but since we don't know ANYTHING about his childhood anyway maybe it's real who knows

all the filler series like Harlock Saga or Space Symphony Maetel happen between CWZ and SSX imo

daria kulikova is debuting medora this month! :)

That a HUGE debut, and a vote of confidence from management. Given that she’s also been given Masha in the Nutcracker, Juliet’s companion, Princess Florine and they all liked very good, she’s on a fast and steady trajectory. I cannot wait to see footage!

Such kind words towards Lukina! She has a special place in my heart since her VBA years. She graduated "late" (I believe she was 20) and undoubtedly, she is one of the top graduates in recent years. But then, there was her injury, also her extreme flexibility and everything went down hill. But I never stopped rooting for her! And she's working so hard! She's lost weight, she's way more muscular and a little help from Komleva is always great😅. I just wish MT would stop casting her as Giselle lol

She looks so good right now, far better than she's looked the past couple of seasons. She's stronger now than when she graduated, she's finally surpassed that level. No, her Medora wasn't perfect, but I think this is going to be a turning point for her. She's working and it really looks like things started clicking, her understanding of her body seems much deeper. Komleva is a godsend as a coach, she has so much wisdom to share.

Agree, Giselle just hasn't been the role for her. Those huge arches aren't meant for doing hops on pointe. But now after this Medora...I almost want to see her try again sometime soon, but with a more experienced partner than Konovalov.

10 Reasons Why You Should Watch Le Corsaire (aka the pirate ballet)

it's a ballet about pirates

the costumes are so prettyyyy

the soundtrack? EPIC. you can definitely tell it's about pirates and I'm kinda obsessed with it

the two main characters are pirate captain Conrad and his fiesty girlfriend Medora, and the dancers playing them ALWAYS do such a good job at pretending to be in love

betrayals! plot twists! a random shipwreck at the end for some reason??

it's got the fairytale trope of a beautiful maiden falling asleep because of a poisoned object. Now you think it'd be Medora, but you're wrong. It's Conrad

there's a mutiny against Conrad because what pirate story is complete without a mutiny

it's based off of a poem, The Corsair, written by this dude named Lord Byron and it was apparently super popular back in the day. Like it sold ten thousand copies on release day. My favorite tidbit about the source material is that instead of being his girlfriend Medora is Conrad's WIFE she also died from grief because she thought he'd died but we're not going to talk about that

you can finally understand the origins of my beloved space pirate OCs (and if you have no idea who they are, feel free to send me an ask I will GLADLY ramble about them)

there's a free recording of it on YouTube :D

#le corsaire #ballet #space pirates #I wish I could go back in time #and personally thank whoever came up with the idea of a pirate ballet #because wow. the VIBES. #10/10 ballet would recommend plz watch it

On Saturday evening, I went to the theater for the last time here (okay, there is still Rebecca, but that’s DomplatzOpenAir). As mentioned, I saw Le Corsaire with music mainly by Adolphe Adam danced by Ballett Magdeburg and choreographed by Gonzalo Galguera. Since Grettel Morejón was not fit again, Medora was danced by Lou Beyne, principal dancer with Les Ballets de Monte Carlo. She was also very nice, but I liked Morejón’s Medora a bit more.

As it was the last ballet of the season and Galguera’s last ballet in Magdeburg, I expected people to be a more enthusiastic than usual. And they were. When I arrived there, there was quite the queue at the evening box office. (I expected it to be sold out, but I could see like three free seats.)  Also I saw people with roses.

I again liked the opening scene with its huge pirate ship and fog waves and so on much, but last time it was a bit more impressive, as I then sat in a perfect seat in the parquet (from which the perspectives of the scene paintings were also perfect). But then, I could lean forward and see how the orchestra was swallowed by those fog cascades (and I could admire the background paintings from a more technical/mathematical point of view).

My favourite part was, again, the part in the 2nd act, where everyone shows off (jumps! jumps!). Everything just fits, there’s fire in the music and in the dancers and in the end, the audience just had to clap along (even though last time, the audience was way earlier more on fire.) I just love that you can clap in ballet everytime you like something you’ve seen very much, unlike in concerts where you shouldn’t even clap in between the movements. I come there to get swept away by awesomeness, so please let me show my enthusiasm, thank you very much. The families I sat between were really reserved, which in the beginning really killed my vibe, lol. 

The flower garden scene, which seems to be most people’s favourite, was also very beautiful, especially as this time there wasn’t this awkward hole in the middle of the stage everyone danced around, but rather Medora.

Even though we had the full third act now, the ending seemed to come rather suddenly for me. But I could see the fancy giant pirate ship again!

While we clapped for everyone, there were the roses people brought falling down. (Apparently you hand them in somewhere? I am not sure. Someone didn’t do it, and none of their three roses managed to cross the orchestra pit.) Also there was confetti, as you can see on the picture. Confetti, I love confetti! We were standing ovations for exactly a quarter of an hour. While in every production I went to lately there were people (including me, most of the times) standing up, it has never been that long. I love the audiences enthusiasm here! (In this case, it’s nice not to know  much about ballet technique, because otherwise you’d probably start to see where something lacks and so on and I don’t come to see perfection.) Some people went a bit overboard, there was a group of middle aged women who had an embarrasing chain of lights arranged in a heart form they were frantically waving with during the applause. Afterwards, there were even a bunch of people waiting at the stage door, also something I had never seen here before. 

I could still go on about the things I liked about this ballet. but I have to study now as next Monday is approaching so fucking fast, aaaaah. (I am fortunate already, as officially my presentation was due yesterday, but as two people (or one third of the group) told us they’d be absent, we agreed to pause this week.)

I thought this would be the last ballet for quite some time, but life’s full of surprises! In the beginning of July, I will see Annonciation | La Stravaganza by  Angelin Preljocaj in Halle as recommended by @fayet with my best friends, @deneb-al-giedi and C! Tickets are already booked and only need to picked up (and paid, haha) now. Really looking forward to that!
