Tweet   Petrouchka or Petrushka (French: Pétrouchka; Russian: Петрушка) is a ballet with music by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, composed in 1910–11 and revised in 1947.  Petrushka is a story of a Russian traditional puppet, Petrushka, who is made of straw and with a bag of sawdust as his body, but who comes to life and develops emotions. According to Andrew Wachtel, Petrushka is a work More.. that fuses music, ballet, choreography and history in perfect balance. It evokes Richard Wagner’s Gesamtkunstwerk (total artwork), but with a Russian approach.[1]
