The article discusses Tamara Rojo's feminist reimagining of the classical ballet 'Raymonda', originally choreographed by Marius Petipa. In this updated version, the protagonist gains personal agency, moving away from being a mere romantic figure to someone who navigates love and career ambitions. The narrative still features a love triangle, but Rojo incorporates themes of empowerment and agency, drawing parallels to historical figures like Florence Nightingale. This fresh interpretation underlines the evolving role of women both in ballet and contemporary society.
