I do not mean to attack the art form in the mentioned era (20th century), but with the exception of "The Nutcracker" and "Cinderella" I truly disliked the ballets namely "Petrouchka", "Revelations", and "Billboards". These ballets just tried too hard in my estimation.

"Petrouchka" was far too concerned with political and social commentary. I understand this piece is a metaphor for communism, but I believe Stravinsky and Benois focused too much

Unlike the two above-mentioned ballets, "Billboards" seemed to not have such a strong message, which is maybe why I liked this piece more than those two dances. This work was not concerned with making a statement, but rather, showing dancers enjoying what they do and having fun doing it- which is the whole point to dance! However, I did not like all aspects of this production, such as, the sexually driven choreography and the "modern" costumes (which were a little dated); however, good choice of music. What better music can be used to accompany erotic-like dance than Prince (or is it the Artist or the Artist formerly...whatever).

It seemed the trend of twentieth century dance was to shy away from the escapism element and focus more on content within the work. I can appreciate
