The only #ballet in the world dancing with rifles—"The Red Detachment of Women" (1971)
It is based on true story of #RedArmy female soldiers fighting vicious enemies in Hainan Island.
Putting aside politics, it is excellent enough from today's purely artistic point of view.(1/2)

For political reasons, it was banned after end of Mao era.
But in 2022, a new version began to perform in China.
But in my opinion, modern slim actresses are quite out of play, nothing like those real RedArmy female warriors, also failed to show fighting spirit of that era(2/2)
