“Dark Ballet” thread

The backdrop for Eurovision with the veiled Madonna in tears seems to be from somewhere, whether just for the tour, performance or possible visual accompanying it.

I took it as a reference to a famous Gloria Swanson photo by Edward Steichen.

Although I thought she had referenced this before but I can’t picture it right now.

Backdrop for Sticky & Sweet Tour “Vogue”?

(She also has a beautiful Testino still photo from the Evita era where she is wearing a black veil, but the lace is not patterned like this.)

MY THEORY:

I think it's more related to catholic culture, where the women used to go to church with these (black or white), so this could relate with the backdrop when we saw the priest and monks, and the possition that M did looks like when people go and receive communion.

Normally the "mantilla” doesn't cover the face except for more extreme forms of expression during Spanish Easter. But I do agree that Madonna's is related to church widow attire.

Spanish Easter is a experience I highly recommend. From the austere and serious rites from Castille to the lacrimose hysterical moments  in Andalusia to the deafening sound of drums in Aragon...

It appears the song has the spoken word parts from the Eurovision performance, judging by the professional reviews

I think it’s obvious that those are the verses “beautiful game” as we know it would be the bridge-choruses ...

 

at least IMO

It also reminded me of this one taken by Alek Keshishian

I'm really looking forward to this song. I intrigued how the Nutcracker sample is worked in. Less than 2 weeks until the album comes out!!

I fully expect this to be the best pre-release song we will receive.

Is Dark Ballet supposed to be a proper single with a video or just promo song?

It’s just another promo song. She may release Killers Who Are Partying a week after the album’s release.

That would be great. Didn't she film 2 unreleased music videos already?

She also may release Batuka. Or Crazy. Or God Control. Or Extreme Occident. Or Faz Gostoso. Or anything else, really.

Nothing has been confirmed at this point.
