Nizhinsky biography

The author Olga Ugarova a century after the Great Triumph in Paris his name turned into a divine myth. Exist Olympus of the 20th century, then, of course, Nizhinsky would sit at its very top. Now, calling diamonds in his honor, making films, looking at the photographs, reading diaries, studying high art or rock idols, we send the cult of the genius of dance with a tragic fate, paying tribute to the great legend again and again.

For the special project “Nizhinsky -” Olga Ugarova collected particles of this cult. Nizhinsky’s debut work as a choreographer “afternoon rest of the faun” was not a canonical for the new era of ballet, how much iconic: his sensual hero of ancient mythology turned into a cult image in the world of dance, ballet theater and far beyond its borders. One of the examples is the episode of the I Want to Break Free clip of the year of the Queen group, where Freddie Mercury, surrounded by Royal Ballet artists, appears in the image of a faun, whose spirit is multiplying in infinity in masculine and feminine guise.

The choreography was given by Prime Minister Wayne Igling. Freddie Mercury in the image of Faun to ignore the friendship and warm relations of Gabriel Chanel with the entreprise of Sergei Diaghilev. The production “Spring Spring” of Nizhinsky, according to Coco, had a huge impact on it. Of course, when in the year the fashion house released the first jewelry dedicated to Russia, the Inspiration Russe, the personality of Nizhinsky was also remembered.

One of the four exclusive sets was called Vaslav. The set consisted of one bracelet made in yellow gold with diamonds and decorated with two large Australian pearls. It was a variation on the eastern topic - the tribute of his party in the ballet "Sheherazada". A batch of a delicate flower in the miniature “Vision of a rose” or “Ghost of a rose” is one of the first iconic roles of Nizhinsky who turned the consciousness of balletomans.

For the first time, a young man is moving away from the old male ballet performance and dances the image, spirit, dream, aroma, which immediately makes the Nizhinsky part of the new story. In the year in Yakutia, a pink diamond weighed in 27.85 carats was discovered. Diamond “Nizhinsky” weighing 27.85 carats-the largest pink diamond, the ghost of the rose that has ever been obtained in Russia weighing 14.83 karats more than once in Kinematographer: from classic Bayopics about the heroes of “Russian seasons” and not only in the film “Valentino” with Rudolf Nureyev in the form of Rudolfo Valentino is played by the Royal Ballet Prime Minister Anthony Dowell until the conceptual film adaptation of “Diaries of Vaclav Nizhinsky”, where a biography.

But one tape stands apart - She dance Alone of the year. This is a dramatic documentary story about the daughter of Nizhinsky - Kira. However, it seems that there are two main characters: Kira and her dad herself. The text of the father reads the cult star of the filmography of Ingmar Bergman Max von Sudov - the owner of demonic appearance and hypnotic voice.

Grace, expressiveness, plasticity framed its ability to literally hang in the air. It is this gift that grabs the camera when Serge Lifar comes to him in Switzerland in the year. After the dance of Lifar, Nizhinsky moves off to the wall and jumps up, scattering his arms to the sides - like the same bird that fell in love with Paris, and then the whole world. The frame, which recorded a moment, became part of the documentary report of that visit and was called the reporters “Nizhinsky’s last jump”.

Vaclav Nizhinsky and Serge Lifar great names of the art world and contemporaries admired the miracle of Nizhinsky. According to the memoirs of Romola Nizhinskaya, Chaliapin saw in him the future pride of Russia, which Petipa himself stated himself, he called his Slavushka, and the sandor of Isador Duncan hinted that he dreamed of a child from him for the glory of a new generation of talented artists.

Among the enchanted by the genius of Nizhinsky was Charlie Chaplin. Jean Coctele emphasized his supernaturalness “He refuted the laws of balance and turned them upside down”, Sarah Bernard was battered by the dramatic capabilities “I am scared, I see the greatest actor in the world”, the devoted Auguste Roden is fascinated by the beauty of the dancing body. Drawing Jean Cocteau. The Vaclav Little in the “Sheherazad” Auguste Roden not only admired Nizhinsky’s talent, but also stood up to his defense.

When, after the premiere of Favna, an avalanche of critics and conservative public fell on the dancer and choreographer, the sculptor performed open letters in the press, emphasizing the uniqueness of the production and dancing. After the Favna, the sculptor invites Nizhinsky to pose. The work was not finished, but in the metro museum there is a gypsum sketch in which Roden conveyed the impressionistic plastic of the dancer and his inexplicable internal nervousness-so complex, attractive and magnetic.

He was breaking away due to moral and physical exhaustion, scandals around the prime minister and painful relations. For a long time, Diaghilev, and then Romole managed to hold him on a stretched rope over the abyss - between his mind and madness.In the year, he spoke to the audience for the last time and went with his wife to Switzerland, where they settled under St.

Moritz. His predisposition to painting began to go to the forefront: once he even took lessons from Bakst. It seems that in abstractions and constructivist compositions, Nizhinsky encoded his inner state. He closed in the studio and in a fever gave his thoughts and torment, which in the drawing resembled a dance. Gloomy faces and piercing eyes sometimes looked through the graphic choreography, but the whirlwind of lines each time talked more and more about its insanity.

But such a kind of therapy was not a salvation for him: very soon, Nizhinsky was diagnosed with schizophrenia. The composition of the authorship of V. Nizhinsky ballet-thought of the artist Alexander Benois seemed to be specially created for Nizhinsky. The grotesque parsley with a wounded soul, in disfiguring make -up, with angular movements conquer and beat the tragedy of his image into the very heart of the viewer.

Paris was first captured by the ardor of Nizhinsky, and then the Great Drama, which became his main companion.

The sad sculpture of Parsley reminds of this on the grave of the dancer in Paris - at the Montmartre cemetery, where stand -up, Emil Zola, Adolf Adan and Vestris, with whom Nizhinsky was more than once rested nearby. An empty scene and mime with a bleached face. Prior to this, Baryshnikov received many proposals to play Nizhinsky, including in the 10ths from Ingmar Bergman, but fate brought him to Wilson with this image.

The large theatrical experimenter was already working with the dancer - in the year of Baryshnikov, by the will of the director, he became St. Sebastian, and in M, together with William, Defoe showed a fantasy on the theme of the “old women” Daniil Harms. The play “Letter to man” was staged according to Nizhinsky’s diaries, where, through the inflamed consciousness, the tragic hero speaks with himself, an era and God.

The fate of the dancer seemed to captivate him, for many years he collected a collection dedicated to him, and in the year he first put the ballet - then the work was called “Vaclav”. Gradually developing each PA, plot, episode, choreographer came to the two -time full -length performance “Nizhinsky”, which premiered in the year. In it, he connected the love of the dancer and all his roles, which literally germinate from the personality of Nizhinsky.

In addition, Neumayer always and invariably closes his five -hour Nijinsky Gala concert for more than 40 years in the Hamburg ballet. So it will be this time - in June. After that, Gala Neimayer says goodbye to the company. Recommended articles.
