In this kaleidoscopic biography, pivotal moments surface through the lens of Nijinsky’s psychosis, illuminated by the iconic characters he danced. "Stamina, guts and passion are what define this company right now." —National Post *Based partly on original sketches by Léon Bakst and Alexandre Benois Choreography, Sets*, Costumes*, and Lighting Design: John Neumeier Music: Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Dmitri Shostakovich More Info below.
