The Hartt School Presents PETRUSHKA Tonight
The Hartt School's ambitious and exhilarating production of Petrushka re-envisions the iconic Ballets Russes work by Igor Stravinsky and Alexandre Benois by remaining true to the spirit of collaboration between multiple art forms, a guiding vision of both the Diaghilev company and The Hartt School. . Premiering in Paris 1n 1911, the ballet tells the story of the hapless puppet, Petrushka, and his struggle to claim his own humanity. Created on Vaslav Nijinsky as the vulnerable subject of the manipulative Charlatan's abuse, the title role and the ballet became strongly identified with the world famous dancer, his tortured relationship with the impresario Serge Diaghilev, and his subsequent descent into madness.
