The dress was worn with a fencing mask and long black gloves to make the dancer anonymous. The ballet's setting included a suspended pyramid of dolls, dressed similarly in crinolines and deceasing in size to give a sense of distance.\n\r\n<i>Ode</i>, created for Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, was a revolutionary ballet that used film and light and a set of gauzes and ropes to create its ambiance. The critic, A.V. Coton, claimed the ballet had an unearthly beauty and was quite different from other works on the stage in 1928.","physicalDescription":"Costume for a Figurante in Massine's ballet <i>Ode</i>, 1928.
