Question
A 2014 revival of this ballet, for whose background Daniel Buren designed large geometric shapes bordered with black and white stripes, was choreographed by Benjamin Millepied for the Paris Opera Ballet. To keep time, rehearsing dancers in the original production of this ballet supposedly chanted the syllables of their director’s name. This ballet was scrappily premiered just a week after Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun by the (*) Ballets Russes, for whom Michel Fokine had quite fractiously choreographed it. At the end of this “choreographic symphony,” ballerinas with tambourines rush onstage prior to a 5/4 “Bacchanale.” Léon Bakst’s rustic backdrop for this ballet was inspired by a pastoral romance by Longus. For 10 points, name this ballet about the title goatherd and shepherdess with music by Maurice Ravel. ■END■
