Nijinsky's Last Dance
by Norman Allen
This one-man tour-de-force delves into the hidden
recesses of the great dancer's psyche as he fights for
his sanity. In a searing 90 minutes, Nijinsky not
only relives his past but embodies the people who
inhabit it, including lover Sergei Diaghilev, prima
ballerina Tamara Karsavinam, and artistic champion
Auguste Rodin. Through the passionate telling of
his own rise and fall Nijinsky offers his audience a
glimpse into a collapsing civilization and the
unraveling of the twentieth century.
