"Raymonda, a 19th-century prima ballerina, now holds all the cards: she can marry, mess around, or play a nurse, reflecting a feminist perspective on her character."
"The original Raymonda features a love triangle, but with Tamara Rojo's update, no one dies, emphasizing a heroine's journey for personal agency alongside romantic pursuits."
Tamara Rojo's version of Raymonda incorporates a feminist perspective, changing the titular character from a noblewoman with minimal agency into one who holds power, making choices in love and career. The traditional love triangle remains, but with a modern twist, as no character dies. Instead of a war-focused plot, the narrative includes themes of nursing and personal growth, allowing for a more complex exploration of gender roles. The performance is likened to contemporary romantic comedies that emphasize women's empowerment alongside traditional ballet aesthetics.
