I just KNOW the Don Quixote ballet would make a KILLER Drag King performance. LOOK AT THIS
THE SERVE! THE PAUSES TO STRIKE A POSE
It's the showboating of male Tropical Birds combined with a parody of Chivalric Masculinity. The accentuated shoulders of the costume's silhouette! I'm more of a man than your boyfriend AND I'm doing ballet in tights!!!!
It's about the inherent irony in the performance of masculinity; it's baked into the character of Don Quixote LIKE I NEED THIS😭😭!!
SHE'S AN ICON, SHE'S A LEGEND AND SHE IS THE MOMENT ✨
Marianela Nunez!!! One of my most favourite ballerinas! I adore the way she expresses and the joy and passion that shines from her. Such an inspiration 😭🤍
As I type this I’m at the Royal Opera House, about to see Don Quixote (with Marianela Nuñez!) and (even though I almost fell asleep on the tube on the way here) I am incredibly excited!
