The Red Detachment of revolutionary Women

One of the most powerful and moving ballets from the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of china. It depicts a woman's journey into the People's Liberation Army. Instead of weak, fragile women dressed in fluttery tutus, women were depicted in military uniforms with rifles. Instead of frail motions, women had strong arms and clenched fists. This play shook the entire foundation of bourgeois art.
