The San Francisco Ballet's rendition of Kenneth MacMillan's 'Manon' defies expectations of traditional ballet, presenting a story filled with dark themes of deception and lust. The performance transforms a seemingly romantic narrative into a profound exploration of the rise and downfall of the heroine, Manon, who is caught in a tumultuous world that culminates in tragedy. Reviewers commend the ballet for its haunting beauty and ability to challenge the typical impressions of the genre, marking it as an unforgettable artistic experience.
The SF Ballet delivered a performance so exquisite, so haunting, and so devastatingly beautiful that I'll be unpacking it in my mind for weeks.
Little did I know a world of murder, foot fetishes, whoring, and ruin awaited me - and not that I'm complaining.
