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 😭🤍

My hot take is that Bulanova had a phenomenal Kitri debut. I am not surprised at all. It wasn’t flawless and there are things I could quibble about, but she brought the fire. I suspect that the atmosphere in the hall was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Absolutely mandatory viewing - a truly spectacular DQ.

Highlights include:

0:00 Renata's stunning series of temps de flèche

2:57 Renata doing an assemblé so high that her head nearly goes outside of the camera frame

3:36 Act 1 Pas de trois, finishing with Kimin's signature consecutive double tours

4:14 Kitri's act I variation, complete with triple piqués en dehors and backbreaking leaps, all at whirlwind speed.

4:54 The superman Kimin, with one arm press lifts to both sides!

5:38 Charming Renata, so expressive in her eyes to go along with razor-sharp balances and mindblowing turns, ending the dizzying diagonal with a double piqués en dehors with her arms over her head.

7:58 Love how she jumps so freely into his arms with her head completely thrown back, so exciting!

8:40 Kimin's acting, so cute, he can't possibly even fake being angry with his Kitri, followed by lots of head-shaking DRAMA

8:58 That smirk, I'm dead. PLUS THE KISS TO THE AUDIENCE. Love the pandering that is DQ

9:47 Just too cute, have no further words. Renata's expressions are beyond adorable especially when she cheekily asks for more kisses. HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD YOU TWO

9:57 Ahh yes, she remembered now. Here comes the pageantry, especially effective with her fluttering her big doe eyes

10:25 Haven't seen this before, Kimin lovably tugging on Renata's skirt, "Hey, we're doing this gig to get hitched remember! Eyes on the prize!" Their expressions and chemistry is just pure gold.

11:19 Love how playful Renata is in the entree, with deep cambrés and bold arm and head movements, especially as she finishes the pirouettes. Very attractive to see the character of Kitri still shining in the grand pas.

11:54 Flawless lift. Notice Renata's superb coordination, in order to catch the music on time, she prepares her arms to start the turns while coming down from the lift.

12:20 Full split grand pas de chat with no momentum into the adagio preparation SO EXTRA, SO DON Q, I'M HERE FOR IT

12:30 "I'll just make a couple timestamps, I won't go crazy".....I lied to myself. But but this fouette is just too good, Kimin transitioning with both arms stretched wide to show her off. Renata's eyes just make me fall in love and I'm obsessed with her sassy transition into 4th position en pointe.

12:54 WHAT A MOMENT. TIME LITERALLY STOPPED....moving on

13:02 I promise I'll stop timestamping every 10 seconds but like, that arabesque balance is how every balance should be. Classy, without showboating, an active choice on when to exist, no needless 4th wall breaking, perfectly musical.

13:20 The pirouettes? Stellar. The transition out of it? Even better.

13:44 SHe's so confident here, she looks up and explodes her arms out before exiting the pirouette into the penché. That choice creates such feelings of elation.

14:11 Give me either one of their renveresé, thanks :)

14:16 Exiting this (gorgeously done) lift can be awkward, love how Renata uses her arms to transition into the next pose

15:02 YES to the traveling that's happening!!

15:33 Her smile. That's all. Delightful.

15:47 ADORABLE

16:13 Kimin's variation starts. I mean come on. He's just flying around. THOSE OUTSIDE ATTITUDE PIOUETTES. Super stable tours to high arabesques. Just too good.

17:04 Renata's variation starts. Jawdropping footwork, the petit rond de jambes are so clean and so precise, and she's moving so much when she does them. HERE FOR THE RENATA SASS. THe way her face lights up when the crowd starts clapping is priceless

17:57 CODA TIME!!!! Legitimately think no one has ever done this jump better than Kimin. And that manage, just looks like it takes no effort for him to complete. He just floats around like it's nothing.

18:21 Holy shit her fouettes are insane, AND THEN ALL DOUBLES IN THe SECOND HALF???? Aish, her tiny frustrated face appeared for half a second because she was the tiniest bit off and had to do one single. But what a fight, she's such a spitfire. I was on the edge of my seat.

18:45 Speechless. Just what??? How????? Kimin Kim, explain yourself????

19:15 THE WAY THEY SMILE. WHAT A SHOW!!!!

I did this during my first watch-through, I think you can gauge my level of excitement quite clearly ahaha. Let me know your favorite moments and if you enjoyed reading my first reaction :)

I am working on Levi birthday and on my winter solstice project the "celebration" but in the meantime here some Petra as Kitri from the ballet Don Quixote, act 3 variation.

For the variation : here it's the long version. A very very good real life representation of it would be Iana Salenko, from the Staasballet of Berlin, here a link : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cUuT9pipZ_I There are several videos of several performances of her in that variation. it's just my personal fav here.

For the other version of that variation if anyone is interested, Olga Smirnova is good, Nina Kaptsova too.

Ok Maria Bulanova shattering my expectations for how great her Kitri debut would be, even though I already thought it would be amazing!

Song: パルテノン銀座通り / Parthenon Ginza Doori Music/Lyrics: 滝本晃司 / Takimoto Kouji Vocal: たま / Kitri

とても君らしい時間に　君がぼくの目の前にいるので どしようもなくってぼくは　顔のない顔の声で話かける ばかげてる風景をまたいでる　そんなわけでこなごなだ 陽射しがチリチリしてきたよ ぼくらは恋人どうしだったらよかったのに

You are there right before my eyes, in a time that is very like you Having no way out of it, I talk to you in a voice of a faceless face Stepping all over foolish scenes, hence grinding them into dust Rays of sunlight dazzle the eyes How nice would it be if we were lovers

何度も同じ場所で何度も似たような事をおもう よくみがいたスプーンにうつる　曲がりきれない毎日

Time after time, in the same place, repeatedly thinking the same thoughts the everyday life we can't bend all the way reflected on a thoroughly polished spoon

むずかしい事は何一つなくって簡単なことも何一つない こうしているのが楽しいってことだけが みさかいもなくつづくのを願うだけ

Nothing is difficult, and nothing is easy I only hope I'll continue having fun just being like this

ぼくらは時々恋人になって くるったように踊りを踊りつづけて ぶっこわれた笑い方を楽しみ　そうして 言葉を全部うしなった夜に沈もう 何度も同じ場所で 何度も似たような事をしよう よくみがいたスプーンにまがったままよくうつるように

Sometimes we're lovers, dancing as if we were mad Taking pleasure in the broken way we laugh, and then let's sink into a night where all words are lost Let's do the same thing many times over in the same place, time after time, so that though warped, it'd still be reflected on a thoroughly polished spoon

君の未来が君をさがして君の記憶に散歩して けつまづいてたちどまった時さ　夜空には男花火が打ち上がる

Your future is searching for you, taking a stroll in your memories When it trips and stops in its track, giant fireworks will bloom on the night sky

ぼくらは時々恋人になって くるったように踊りを踊りつづけて ぶっこわれた笑い方を楽しみ　そうして 言葉を全部うしなった夜に沈もう 何度も同じ場所で 何度も似たような事をしよう よくみがいたスプーンにまがったまま よくうつるように

Sometimes we're lovers, dancing as if we were mad Taking pleasure in the broken way we laugh, and then let's sink into a night where all words are lost Let's do the same thing many times over in the same place, time after time, so that though warped, it'd still be reflected on a thoroughly polished spoon

くるったように踊りを踊りつづけて ぶっこわれた笑い方を楽しみ　そうして 言葉を全部うしなった夜に沈もう 何度も同じ場所で 何度も似たような事をしよう よくみがいたスプーンにまがったまま よくうつるように

Sometimes we're lovers, dancing as if we were mad Taking pleasure in the broken way we laugh, and then let's sink into a night where all words are lost Let's do the same thing many times over in the same place, time after time, so that though warped, it'd still be reflected on a thoroughly polished spoon

何度も同じ場所で 何度も似たような事をしよう よくみがいたスプーンにまがったままよくうつるように

Let's do the same thing many times over in the same place, time after time, so that though warped, it'd still be reflected on a thoroughly polished spoon

#translation #lyrics #tama #kitri #parthenon ginza doori #this is a very strange song #i listened to kitri's version first and i thought it was their original song at firs #i just thought the lyrics were a bit different #this song really is deceptive #you think it's a peaceful poem and in a way it kinda is #but it's still strange #a bit ominous even #that's what makes it cool to me

Thoughts on Khiteeva in DQ…

Thanks to the Anon who sent me this link! I've watched it a bunch and learned quite a bit about Don Q in the process — at least Kitri's part. I'm going to share it here because I have some thoughts. It's just some snippets and I would like to see more, but it's a very strong for her second DQ.

Act 1 - Good, but could use more attack, music seemed a bit slow. The toreador diagonal was quite good! The "Plisetskaya jump" could be more explosive.

Act 2 - Dulcinea Variation - Such a natural here. Looked a little nervous or shaky at the start but overcame that quickly. Those hops on points - Bravissima! (Do I see a future Giselle?) However, as I was watching and comparing to others, I learned that there is another version of the Dulcinea Variation called the "Dudinskaya Version" and only a handful of dancers have been given the blessing to dance this one, Shakirova and Lukina both dance Dudinskaya's version, Shakirova seen here:

Act 3 - Kitri wedding variation - this one sent me into an internet rabbit hole because it raised a lot of questions for me. First, the run at the start - so pretty! Her legs are very shimmery! But where is the fan? I know that at the Mariinksy, fans are optional, but really…you need the fan! Secondly, I wondered if she got tripped up in the passes and improvised on the spot, or if this little triple step was intentional. Because of this question, I started researching and realized that there are many different approaches to this part of the variation. Some hold the passe a beat (Skorik), others go from a fifth to a wide second on point, but Ekaterina Maximova's is the the one I liked the most. Crazy fast passes! For Kitri, you really have to go for broke. No holding back, so there's a lot of room for improvement for Khiteeva here. It needs to be needle sharp, very picante! And that drama & flirtiness should build over the series of passes. But overall, quite charming!

This week's Tune for Tuesday, "Kokorone" by Kitri, is the ending theme for a charming little show I got sucked into yesterday, one that effortlessly puts a smile on my face. Seriously, My Clueless First Friend is just too adorable! YouTube
