There was more than just a statue of Trump. There were people in costumes dancing. There was a short figure at the base of the float with a fire helmet, and nearby was a woman as if prancing in place, pointing toes, lifting knees high, and walking in place.
There was more going on than a statue of Trump. This was a production that cost real money and involved many performers. As one of the performers had a fiery helmet, it gave the appearance of a "Firebird." Well, there is a legend in the slovac countries of a "Firebird." An opera was written to embody the Russian folklore of it, by Igor Stravinsky.

the opera "The Firebird"

The ballet is based on the Russian legend of the Firebird, a powerful good spirit whose feathers supposedly convey beauty and protection upon the earth. Other characters from Russian lore are also included: the heroic Prince Ivan Tsarevich and the evil sorcerer Kashchei, from whom Ivan must rescue the princess he loves. It is only through the intervention of the Firebird, whose life he spares early in the ballet, that Ivan is able to destroy Kashchei and his followers and marry the princess. The folk origins of the story inspired Stravinsky to borrow a few folk melodies in his score. Yet most of the ballet, especially the fluttering dance of the Firebird and the memorable wedding march at the ballet’s conclusion, was his own creation.
The Firebird ballet was completed by May 1910 and was promptly sent to Paris, where the dancers were already preparing. A final obstacle arose when the principal ballerina refused to dance the role of the Firebird, declaring that she detested the music, and had to be replaced. The ballerina’s objections notwithstanding, Stravinsky achieved instant recognition as one of the most original and powerful composers of his generation.
BASICALLY
the opera is a story of a warrior "Ivan" - a good man - nearly being turned to stone like all the former warriors by the evil and IMMORTAL wizard – but was saved with the magic of the Firebird. The wizard was immortal because his soul was kept in an egg hidden in a tree that had golden apples.
At one point Ivan spits in the face of the wizard
which reminded me of Matt Whitaker at the hearing this week.
In fact there were many coincidental comparisons to the struggle we are living right now.
I will post the complete SYNOPSIS of the story next.
