A Tragic Adventure Unfolds - The Dramatic Mishap of Elohnes Dramas
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness a tragic incident that occurred during an interlude for Elohnes dramas. Disguised as snow-puppets, the actors were reciting a Christmas fairy tale when disaster struck. As the flame of a candle ignited their white wool beards and cotton disguises, panic ensued. The image captures the chaos and fear that engulfed the scene. The actors, in their elaborate costumes, desperately tried to escape outdoors but were hindered by their burning attire. Despite the swift action of some spectators rushing to help, many suffered serious burns. Beltrame's illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday on January 3rd, 1932. It vividly portrays the tragedy that unfolded during this festive celebration gone awry. The theatrical setting adds to the dramatic impact of the scene as flames engulf both puppets and performers alike. This artwork serves as a reminder of how quickly joy can turn into tragedy and how even seemingly innocent celebrations can take unexpected turns. It also highlights the risks involved in amateur performances and serves as a cautionary tale for those who underestimate fire hazards. Beltrame's skillful depiction invites us to reflect on our own vulnerability amidst moments of merriment and reminds us to approach festivities with caution and awareness.
