Feeling. Notebooks. Nizhinsky V.F.

Vaclav Fomich Nizhinsky (1889–1950) - Russian dancer and choreographer of Polish descent, innovator of dance. In 1909-1913, the leading dancer and choreographer of the Russian Ballet Diaghilev troupe. The choreographer of ballets “Spring Spring”, “afternoon rest of the faun”, “Games” and “Til Ulenspiegel”.

“Feeling. Notebooks ” - chaotic, chaotic notes of Vaclav Nizhinsky, created by him after the end of the brilliant ballet career, which gave the world the unique images in the ballets of Stravinsky, Debussy, Adan, which later entered the classics of world choreography. A serious mental illness forced Nizhinsky to leave the stage, but gave rise to the very notebooks that the author entitled as “life” and “death”.

in his thoughts, Nizhinsky balances between genius and madness, only occasionally concerns the past starry life , and appears to be a person who deeply feels this world while no one from his closest environment “feels” him. Here - thoughts about peace and man, about God and the soul, about vain and eternal, about art - not as a craft, but as a way of world skills...

“I experienced a lot, and therefore I want to record. All that I experienced were only horrors. I am afraid of people, for they do not feel me, but understand. I am afraid of people, for they want me to live the same life they lead. They want me to dance funny things. I don't like fun. I love life. " Vaclav Nizhinsky
