I am watching how in the “Battle of the Nutcrackers” the Mark Morris production of “The Hard Hut”.
When I turbed it on I was so paralyzed of what I was seeing that it did not even came to me the I need to record it as the things like that never happen twice in life. The “The Hard Hut” is the classic Nutcrackers ballet is reimagined and set in American suburbia in the 1960s. I thought that I have seen everything but I could not imagine the Christmas Eve party in Clara house where Clara’s girlfriends are fighting for position of vibrators and rights to press their crotches against the waiter’s legs. Then the Midnight comes and the mice in uniform of East German Politzai armed with Uzi jump to the stage, attack Clara. The Nutcracker shows up, defeat the mice juts for sake of general entertainment. He less care about Clara and happy that Clara fall asleep and he get engage in homosexuals dancing with a visitor of Clara’s house…. MAMA!!! If it was not the Tchaikovsky music I would hardly knew what is going on.
You have to see those dresses and what entire production. It is so hilariously stupid ands kitschy that it even become hypnotizing to see how deep into patheticssism they would go. The highlight of the “originality” of the production was the decoration of the second act where a huge map was handing above the whole stage and where during the Spanish dance, Arabian dance, Chinese dance and Russian Dance the lights were flashing indicting what the country-ordinals of the dance are located…
Holly shit!!! I perhaps become too old… Let that Mark Morris to run for US presedelcy…
