Tamara Rojo updates the ballet Raymonda to reflect feminist themes, granting the main character, a 19th-century prima ballerina, greater personal agency and career aspirations. Unlike the original work, where she was defined by a love triangle with minimal options, this new portrayal allows her to explore her identity beyond romantic interests. Although the love triangle concept remains, it intertwines with her ambition to be more than just a romantic figure, positioning her as a modern heroine with substantive desires and ambitions, drawing parallels to Florence Nightingale's impactful legacy.
Raymonda, a 19th-century prima ballerina in a world of men, is updated by Creative Director Tamara Rojo to reflect feminist perspectives, expanding her agency and choices in love.
Raymonda's character evolves from a noblewoman twirling for affection to a more empowered figure concerned with career and personal desires, demonstrating a shift in narrative focus.
