The photography is interesting. The lighting, the dresses—everything works. The children performed wonderfully. And there's plenty to think about. What's encoded here? A doll, a suitcase, a cross, a rope... around the doll's neck (?) or a child's? But what's more here—illness, doom, or abandonment? And what did Tchaikovsky want to tell the world?

Eva Dudorga, for the second year we've been trying to answer that last question (visually, of course). It's very captivating.
