Details

A celebration of the heritage of the great Diaghilev era, this quadruple bill centres on the staging of two of Vaslav Nijinsky's groundbreaking works - Jeux, his provocative tennis ballet about the games people play, and L'Apres-midi d'un faune, his controversial depiction of the erotic awakening of a young faun when he encounters three nymphs on a summer's afternoon. These are flanked by revivals of Nijinska's Les Biches, an ambivalent portrait of the Riviera smart set in the 1920's, and The Firebird, Mikhail Fokine's great fairy-tale, danced to Stravinsky's epoch-making score.
