Ballet and/or play?

Latest comment: 12 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Is this really a ballet? It has a lot of spoken lines for a ballet, and in his preface, Cocteau refers to it as a play. Could we call it a hybrid play-ballet? Aristophanes68 (talk) 03:33, 7 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hmm. It has parts for 2 narrators. Even 1 narrator is highly unusual for a ballet. But then, it's highly unusual to have a chorus in the last movement of a piano concerto, yet Busoni's Concerto is always so categorised and not as "Chorus with an extremely long introduction from a piano and orchestra". I've never seen or heard Les mariés complete; all I know of it is the music, so I'm not in a position to give an educated view of whether the 2 narrators interact in such a way as to constitute a dialogue and a drama, or whether they're just there to provide a sort of ongoing surrealist commentary. But then, why is there a need for 2 of them? Curious. Do any references call it anything other than just "ballet"?-- ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ ^{[your turn]} 06:58, 7 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Here's what I got from searching eiffel tower play at Google Book Search -- I see a lot of references to it as a play. At the same time, it has lots of characters but only two speaking parts (named "phonographs" in my copy), so it may well be a hybrid form of theatre that is both play and ballet. I notice one of the encyclopediae calls it a "spectacle". Aristophanes68 (talk) 18:54, 8 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
