Grandiose Mechanical Ballet



"I suddenly saw the whole beauty of this grandiose mechanical ballet, flooded with the light of the lovely blue-eyed sun. But why – my thoughts continued – why beautiful?
Why is the dance beautiful? Answer: because it is nonfree movement, because all the fundamental significance of the dance lies precisely in its aesthetic subjection, its ideal nonfreedom.” (Yevgeny Zamyatin)
