Dancing with Nijinsky

Matias Carbonetti-Schwanek (dancer)

Mateusz Mirek (actor)

Gavin Roberts (piano)

The story of iconic Ballets Russes dancer Vaslav Nijinsky in dance, word, and music. Nijinsky died in the neighbouring London Clinic. This show uses the dancer's own words, taken from his diaries, as reflections on his former fame and prodigious dancing career combined with dance and music. Nijinsky's diaries are also a rare first account of an artist of the experience of entering psychosis. The performance will feature music by Tchaikosky, Chopin, Stravinsky, Schumann, Debussy and more!
