20:00 | Context. Diana Vishneva's Festival: Nijinski |
|

 The new full-length ballet by Marco Goecke deals with the dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinski. It touches on significant stages of his life on and off the stage showing how closely art and madness are related. Nijinski was one of the most extraordinary artists of the last century and an intrinsic part of Russian ballet glory. An outstanding artist whose gift of transformation, physical capacity and the ability to seemingly pause in the air during his jumps became legendary. His role in Petrushka is iconic and his major work The Rite of Spring – one of the symbols of modernism – is still in the spotlight. Marco Goeke’s ballet narrates about different stages of Nijinsky’s life. It is quite typical for Goeke to go beyond the biography and this play is no exception, as it explores some fundamental philosophical questions. Nijinski will reflect on the magic and the value of art – and the high price it exacts from all creative minds. More info and Tickets
