The graceful figure smeared in excrement and standing in an almost balletic pose in front of the fat thuggish gaoler with a truncheon struck me as being so surreal and bizarre that I must be mistaken. No one could have gone to all that trouble. The image must represent something else. Eventually I realised that it was in fact a scene from a rehearsal of a new production of the Nijinsky L’Après Midi d’un Faune. Evidently they intended putting it on to entertain the other prisoners.
