The article discusses a contemporary adaptation of the ballet 'Raymonda' by Tamara Rojo, which offers a feminist reimagining of the original work. Where the original features a love triangle and minimal agency for the protagonist, Rojo’s version sees Raymonda as a resourceful woman who balances romantic interests with a nursing career. This update reflects a shift toward personal empowerment in ballet, moving away from solely romantic narratives to depict women's multifaceted roles in a male-dominated art form.
Feminism within ballet brings a refreshing view, presenting a former male-dominated narrative through the story of Raymonda, who now embodies personal agency.
In Tamara Rojo's adaptation of Raymonda, the character evolves from a passive noblewoman to an empowered figure, balancing love and a career in nursing.
