The French decided they would skip and instead we would do the more usual 'rooftop' Martinis at 5:30 PM (long after the show which was at 12 Noon).
And the rich Swiss cousine was caught in Geraldton having well, just plain driven way too far and forgetting you have to get back also...

| Man, that's pretty scary, look at that! |
...It was all very fortuitious.
I told the French people I would have been stuck trying to explain away what could not be explained:
How an exact same thing from the exact same theater company only one year distant in time could be so far apart in standard.
In my opinion at least, 'suddenly,' Gary Avis 'retired' this year and I think he resigned knowing what was afoot.
...I had told all three of the people that, hey I know most religious philosophies always talk about the past, things which might have happened 'way back in some dim history,' but I would give them delivery: now, today as it were, with The Nutcracker.
Because this was the key 'occult' 'theos-atros:' where the God APPEARS.
It's so hot down here right now as I write, I should be asleep but this whole thing is keeping me up.

| It's so hot down here that I did not even cook my usual Christmas Steak-and-Kidney pie. I'd do anything for something like that right now! |
Never in my life have I ever seen a more atrocious, performance of this ballet.
The 'lead' dancer doing 'Clara' the young girl, dances demi-pointe, not pointe... And that is just the beginning of the sad story.
I am convinced the 'Fairy Queen' was actually a man - and if it was not, well in any case that was the most exorbitant piece of miscasting I have ever witnessed. There are plenty of roles in ballet for 'mannish' women dancers - but the role of the Fairy Queen in The Nutcracker is not one of them and please don't anybody make the obvious joke. Because I don't think the producers were joking. They very much intended to depict what we all had to sit through. I almost walked out but realistically I would not have because I always like to 'know' what I am talking about and thus I do need to have watched the whole thing.
The Second Act was no better, however we saw the revelation of a young dancer Nadia Mullova-Barley, who needs to get the heck out of this production company and into a real one ASAP.
She was exciting, perfect, and has the necessary plastique and port de bras.
If you go back to one of the posters' comments here just immediately previously re links between EWS and The Nutcracker, the AI response they got contains the words 'symbolizes' and 'metaphor.'
The true theatrical production of this ballet is not a metaphor or symbolic - it is the actual delivery.
And it is very dark.

| Mariinksy Version. I should correct myself and say there are in fact three versions - there is the Nureyev Version; which is a third distinct iteration. |
All of the formats, original Russian and Peter Wright more 'drama/straight story/play' style ballet - have a standing clock in the shape of a very serious-looking owl, same as the large figure at Bohemian Grove they end up burning there (which is a real challenge to the Gods by the Illuminati people and is a major insult).
And Drosselmeyer is a sorcerer who floats with a cape like Dracula (in fact, it is Dracula that steals this from the original Lev Ivanov ballet production! ...Which contains all sorts of wondrous special effects and illusions) and does all kinds of quite sinister magic.
It's really all very dark.
Except it isn't. 'Dark' only because truly serious, plangent, your own life depends upon it, stuff.
And, like Karl Lagerfeld's 'The Tale of a Fairy' and Roger Vadim's 'Night Games' you will be allowed to see past, and also understand the slipping veil - the slip of the veil - between magical dreams (not the same as any other kinds of dreams) - and real life 'the next morning' as it were.
Well not 'as it were...' ...Actually.
It is ultra-important though, for those really interested in pursuing this to its logical conclusion, that I do not just lay out dot-to-dot explanations of things that are truly 'out of this world' when it comes to the libretto of this ballet.

The magic is there and each individual discovers it themselves as pertaining to their own personality and self - so long as the right guide has shown the way into the darkness.
You've got to get out of the darkness yourself and you can through this 'play' performed as dance. And don't forget when we say 'dance' in high culture, in the Classical Culture, we mean one of the Divine Muses...
But the darkness of course, is not the darkness in the story, darkness as metaphor or symbolism -, but it is the real darkness of real life, of human mundane existence separated from the Divine.
Most, well no not most - all, of the religions are in fact mundane and absent of God; they only use the nomenclature to trick people into following along as mind-controlled slaves in an 'Outer Darkness.' They only use form and outward show and ritual to mask their emptiness within.
If you practice a religion, a modern-day standard religion, any of them -, you are in the Darkness, separated from God, from the Divine...
Which is not to say, just like at Bohemian Grove, those signs and symbols are not taken, stolen, from actual Divine Things; they very much are.
When the murderers of the previous king, installed their puppet eight-year old boy 'king' Josiah, they destroyed the Groves - which were sacred to the priests and priestesses of the original Hebrew peoples.

| What's this got to do with anything?? Nothing. LOL |
And all of these people, Lagerfeld, Vadim, Diaghilev, many others - are from Bohemia.
'Bohemia...' 'Hem/Heim' just simply means 'home;' so, 'the home of -.'
The Boii however, I will not deconstruct here, except to say that it is ancient Veneti - a word from the Ancient Veneti people.
Well, I will say this much - it means in part 'the Lords' or the 'Kings' who descended, were 'the children of -.' Someone. And who wandered over Europe mostly but elsewhere as well, After the Great Flood.
Diaghilev would be spinning in his grave in Venice, were he to have watched this performance.
There. I've gone and said it now -, so now you all know where Diaghilev is buried. It is in Venice.
'Meyer' - the Illuminator (of the Darkness, of course); he places the Star Fairy on top of the Tree of Joy. The Owl. The Grove. The Palace of the Fairy King and Queen (not that kind of 'fairy!!). (Behind) The Wrought Iron Gate. The 'Lords.' The Cloak.
And don't forget, because I have told you - The 'Star Fairy,' Peri-Asteron, is from the Gospels.
I have told it all, and now you know where to find it. And it is not in Monte Rio, California.
