A choreographic performance by Arcadie Rusu that delves into the genius and inner turmoil of the legendary Vaslav Nijinsky, one of the most enigmatic dancer of the 20th century. Through expressive movements, reimagined classical music, and dreamlike projections, it creates a surreal tableau where the boundaries between dream, memory and madness dissolve.
The performance reconstructs the journey from the artistic pinnacle to mental collapse. Dance becomes a portal into the delirium of an artist who defies the limits of body and reality.
“The show has something of the force and poetry of magical realism, being both an emotional roller coaster and a delicate and discreet incursion into the purgatory of creation.” (Răzvana Niță)
