Top of PagePetrushka
Synopsis:
Here Petrushka is a puppet, not unlike Punch, who has taken on human characteristics and, although he is liberated from his strings, he doesn't have true freedom since he continues to be under the domination of the cruel puppet master. His love for the ballerina puppet in the troupe is unrequited and in desperation he makes a getaway to Switzerland where he meets Stravinsky and convinces him to write a different story than the one Petrushka is part of. as the sheet music floats in the air Petrushka starts to dance and the other puppets join him in Stravinsky's new ballet, but it ends in tragedy as it must, because destiny cannot be cheated.
