attitude dance-platform: „Nijinsky“, revisited, Vienna State Ballet (Wiener Staatsballett): November 09th, 2026

It is quite obvious to everyone that Nijinsky, the Artist, the person, the “revolutionary”, and the man, have been on Mr Neumeier’s mind quite a lot throughout the last decades.

It is extremely interesting to observe, over a period of nearly 50 years, how interpretations (And I mean this as a „reading“, not a stage „interpretation“) can change!

Neumeier’s „reading“ of the facts that contributed to Nijinsky’s fate (in “Nijinsky”) is no novelty. It tells us „facts“ that we are aware of; in fact, it repeats them to us who have occupied ourselves „a little“ with ballet history.

Neumeier’s work, altogether, varies too much, in the intellectual level, from piece to piece…
