Boston Celebrates Red Sox World Series Win

Sarah Liu—The Tech

1. Crowds began to gather at the Kenmore Square T Stop in anticipation of the Red Sox victory Wednesday night. 2. More than two hours after the game ended, fans still lingered around Fenway Park. 3. The Prudential Center was lit up during Game 6 of the World Series this Wednes- day night. The Red Sox ended up clinching the World Series at home that night, their first time since 1918. 4. The Green Building was lit up for the occasion. 5. Smoke from fireworks tumbled onto the diamond at Fenway Park after the Red Sox clinched their 8th World Series title. 6. Police and emergency personnel were on hand in Boston after the game, sta- tioned as far away as Massachusetts Avenue. 7. Police from across the state were on hand to maintain order following the Wednesday night World Series victory. 8. Police officers guarding an entrance into Kenmore Square on Commonwealth Avenue look on as swarms of fans depart the game.

Nevertheless, suspending be- lief in deference to artistic license allows the viewer to fully appreciate the superb perfor- mance of the dancers, which is after all the most important aspect of the ballet. The dancing is emotionally evocative and convincing, while at the same time techni- cally impressive. Principal dancer Lia Cirio steals the first act as the lead temple dancer, the eponymous bayadère, Nikiya. By a sacred temple in the forest, she rejects the advances of the High Brahmin and joins her fellow bay- adères around a fire with other religious lead- ers and the savage-like fakirs.
