Sleeping beauty, Maleficent and ballet

Finally I went to see Maleficent.

I wanted to do it earlier,

but it was going to be a reward after completing

all school duties.

I planned to wear

Aurora-inspired outfit:

a blond wig, pink (or blue, but I still opt for pink

if you know what I mean xD) dress etc., but

the hot weather (and rain)

was against me so I chose

my fav non-lolita outfit.

Perfect for hot days.

It was a little ballet inspired.

This skirt looks ballet-like and also socks match it very well.

Details.

Ballet-shoes earrings

And ballerina necklace

When I think about it now,

it was even a better choice than "Aurora's cosplay".

I can not even consider Sleeping beauty idea

without the ballet-connotations.

Ballet adaptations will always be my favourite.

Whenever I think about the image of princess

sleeping among roses on a silk-covered bed

I hear the yearning sounds

of Tchaikovsky music.

Only taken it together I can fully experience this story.

As you probably remember

his music was also used in Disney's adaptation.

And I was going to write about Maleficent

and as always I simply followed my own path ...

Anyway I have nothing against such fairy tales reinterpretations.

I quietly enjoyed it 

as developing the character of the bad witch

(and being able not to lose the fairy, naive and escapist atmosphere!)

was something that seemed absolutely natural

and was strongly needed in the nowadays popculture.

Sudden revelations and naive lands-

that is what I look for in tales.

Simplicity can be the best escape.

But this simplicity should have dark cracks

which give it the strong primitive and

purgatory power.

The vision of Sleeping Beauty

being already dead

after the Prince's arrival

is something always present in my mind.

Her dead body among roses

and the Prince dancing his lonely anti- wedding pas de deux

in her chamber is so appealing..OMG so much!

Such an awful beauty.

Aesthetic pain.

Yeah dancing..

here we come to ballet once again.

With David Hallberg as the Prince.

The prince is never going to come. 

Everyone knows that; and maybe sleeping beauty's dead.
