Hounding Jilters
American Ballet Theater |
The best thing about the ABT's
Giselle last night was when Misty Copeland fell over half way through act one.
She didn't merely trip, she went head over heels from a full arabesque into
being laid out flat on the floor, arms twisted and legs akimbo. I know it
sounds awful, but it was actually a positive experience for the audience which
howled their support for her and subsequently gave her a huge ovation whenever
she appeared. As for Misty, she literally took it in her stride, patiently
remaining where she lay while she regained her composure, then rising in a
suitably beautiful balletic manner before throwing herself into a frenzy of
perfect technique and exquisite style that rivaled the most officious Moscow
ballerina whose nostrils well knew the threatening scent of sulphuric acid. Act
One of Giselle doesn't matter anyway. All that happens is that Giselle dies
after a lively peasant romp around some grand ladies adorned with their
familiars. The substance is in Act Two where the corps de ballet outshines
everything else. After all, the Willis are the most compelling act in any
ballet. Nothing beats a group of ghosts who, dead from the agony of unrequited
love, spend eternity pursuing jilters and hounding them to death. Nothing beats
that.
