@@BytomGirl I know he was. She clearly had the constitution of Methuselah and with it, I submit, the patience of Job. I can also say (though I am but a sprig in my seventies) that, mid-Twentieth Century, it was almost de rigeur for men in the arts to despise women. They saw them either as muses for good or evil, or (the lesser ones) as sperm trap brood cows, but never as fully human. Ms. Jeanmaire had the good fortune to be a Muse, and genuinely understanding of what was then termed The Artistic Temperament. But if you look at the rôles Petit created for women -- femmes fatales, almost all of them, who lure in men only to destroy them -- you cannot say he was the exception to this trend. That does not take away from the greatness of his work, but without understanding the bias of the time, one cannot properly evaluate it. As for Ms. Jeanmaire, whom my older sister remembers performing on American TV, I am sorry to hear of her passing. She was not, however, cheated of years.
@@reymohammed7040 This is ridiculous statement... and doesn't look like you know all ballets of Petit. There were varied roles for men and women as were his ballets. For example did you see La Chauve Souris (The bat?) Or Pique Dame? Just the opposite..
Yes, very similar theme as Young Man and Death danced by few great dancers, Baryshnikov, Nureyev, Le Riche and Tsiskaridze. I love Petit's theme ballets. Did you see one specially choreographed for Tsiskaridze by Petit? Pique Dame? It's amazing. Also Notre Dame, danced by Tsiskaridze (Quasimodo) and Le Riche. The two of them were Petit's favorite dancers. Dancers with individuality, mind and soul. The only kind Petit worked with...
Love this sad ballet, love Petit's choreography and music of Kosma..
Magnifique ballet
Oh, the sadness, oh love great of pain...just say...autumn sadness...soon comes cold and winter touch...and loving sadness...
Браво! Bravi!
Bravo!!!

Dayum!!! 100% Roland Petit! I don't think he liked women very much.
What??? He was married for many years to a wonderful woman Zizi Jeanmeir and they had the most wonderful marriage, she just died yesterday.

@@BytomGirl there is a difference between disliking the woman and hating the woman ; obviously M Mohammed hates the woman it's a fact
