Ar Dharag Inoittha

We didn't write anything yesterday because...

...went to the ballet.

It seems like a completely idiotic excuse, but it's the absolute truth. The classic Glinnar ballet Ar Dharag Inoittha (Dragar Inoitta) was staged in Hveitstad yesterday Saturday. Coincidence? We also decided that no, so we definitely decided to visit it. How we got the tickets is a completely different story and is not relevant.

To be honest, I don’t understand ballet at all. In the opera everything went well, albeit with a terrible creak, but here it doesn’t work at all. And guess what? It was absolutely amazing! It would seem like complete madness: the riot of colors is such that epileptics can hardly watch it, but despite this, you always clearly understand what is happening and can distinguish all the characters.

The process of Inoitta’s transformation from a dragarian to an alva is very beautifully depicted. Fodallein, although shown to be very straightforward, tough and somewhat cruel, evokes genuine empathy and sometimes even sympathy. Well, she dances divinely, how could she do without it.

The only thing I didn’t like was that it was not indicated anywhere that you need to bring your own handkerchiefs. There are a lot of touching scenes where you can’t do without napkins.
