@malgrava yeah i can feel ya. now if some guy wrote the part of the Moor nowadays and portrayed him as such it'd be a different story.
-
@TheLVB1827 I know, that is exactly what I think, its stupid to get angry at historical symbolism, anyway.
-
@malgrava the blackface is entirely necassary to maintain the original integrity of the work. The Moor represents masculine power and testosterone driven naivety, thus his actions are over stated and comical i.e. 2:00
Where as Petruska is more the pathetic, less fit male all too aware of his hopeless, sad situation, thus he is limp, weak and appears clumsy. Also keep in mind this premiered in like 1911. I do not believe Stravinsky intended to attack the African race as a whole.

@mattmethod Its not the blackface thats the most racist thing is what I'm trying to say. Its just the way the moor acts.
-
@malgrava what?
-
@mattmethod No, a real black man acting as though he thinks a watermel- I mean coconut is a god or some shit is totally less offensive. Idiot.
-
i swear there was an animated version on BBC about an old man telling his grandchildren about the tale of petrushka and they were puppets ?
-
is it just me or is the blackface, especially the lip-makeup, like, really really unnecessary and offensive and also distracting from the overall great work?
-
@Iluvrocket A different time... Modern interpretations would of course forego the make up!
-
not a fan of the blackface makeup

The Charlatan places the Ballerina in the Moors room. The Ballerina is attracted to the Moors handsome appearance. She dances with the Moor.
Petrushka finally breaks free from his cell, and he interrupts the seduction of the Ballerina. Petrushka attacks the Moor, but soon realizes he is too small and weak. The Moor beats Petrushka. Petrushka runs for his life, with the Moor chasing him, and escapes from the room.
