| This one-man tour-de-force delves into the hidden recesses of the great dancer's psyche as he fights for his sanity. In a searing 90 minutes, Nijinsky not only relives his past but embodies the people who inhabit it, including lover Sergei Diaghilev, prima ballerina Tamara Karsavina, and artistic champion Auguste Rodin. Through the passionate telling of his own rise and fall, Nijinsky offers his audience a glimpse into a collapsing civilization and the unraveling of the twentieth century. |

| "Holds such sway and power over the audience that you feel you are basking in the heart and soul of Nijinsky. In less than 90 minutes, you not only forget yourself, you leave yourself." |
