Ballet is a very elegant art, however, it has gone through a very embarrassing period of history in China.
Ballet performances would have caused a sensation in a city during a time when there was a dearth of artistic and cultural activities. In that particularly conservative era, a Swan Lake ballet from the Soviet Union would cause multiple fights over ticket purchases alone, a scene perfectly replicated by writer Du Liang in his novel Scarlet Romance.
The ballet is beautiful, but those who practice it suffer. It is said that ballet actors and actresses must be "no inside" on the battlefield, for those who have the blood of the inevitable, this is more torturous, in the ballet performance, there are many male and female actors in close contact with the action, in case of physiological reaction how to do? How do these male actors overcome it?
First of all, I have to say that as a professional actor, this rarely happens. On stage, the actor's mind is full of action, action, action, and absolutely no time to think about anything else! The art of ballet requires a high degree of concentration, and the slightest distraction can result in a mistake that is laughable!
Moreover, these performers are well-prepared beforehand. Considering that the costumes are too tight, they trim their lower body hair before the performance to prevent embarrassment due to the fact that they don't wear underwear during the performance.
Of course, there is also an unsubstantiated rumor that male performers will trim themselves beforehand in order to avoid embarrassment during the show. This claim has circulated widely, and no professionals seem to have come out to debunk it so far.
Of course, now the conditions are better, it is said that the male and female actors have special non-marking underpants, can effectively avoid the embarrassment of the generation, not only to show the beauty of the ballet, but also able to avoid all kinds of embarrassment and lead to the good and bad, technology has changed the art of the actors in the help of these products, the actors will be able to distraction will be the best ballet to present to everyone.
