Jeux – reimagined

About

Jeux is among the least known ballets made by Vaslav Nijinsky. It had its premiere in Theatre de Champs Elysées in Paris in 1913 just two weeks before the Sacre du Printemps. All that remains of this poemé danse – as Nijinsky called it –  are five press photos, a few sketches, reviews and the music of Claude Debussy which became an icon in the history of music as the first modernistic composition. The ballet has remained a secret. Based on these few documents. Liisa Pentti and her dancers re-imagine the mysterious ballet with its hidden language in true futuristic spirit.
