Quiz Score: 25 out of 25
What was the inspiration for the ballet?
How was L'après-midi d'un faune different from other ballets of that era?
The cause of its hostile reception was due to the erotic symbolism of the conclusion to the performance.
What struck you most about L'après-midi d'un faune?
I think overall, what struck to me the most about L'après-midi d'un faune is that the principle dancer is a
male dancer. Especially since faune is a feminine term in French and is a symbol of femininity, one
would assume the main dancer would be female. Something else that struck me was 6:30 at how oddly
stiff the movements were. I felt like it was trying too hard to be different. I also thought that it was
interesting to have the dancers barefoot. Narratively it makes sense but I feel like, especially with the
change in technique, this can't necessarily be considered ballet anymore.
