++ Ilia and Nijinski ++
It is often said the most famous program of Ilia Klimkin, "Prelude to the afternoon of a faun" reproduces the mood of Nijinski. Then, what kind of person is Nijinski?
Nijinski was born in Kiev, 1890. Drawing attention as a talented dancer from an early age, he graduated the Royal Ballet School of St. Petersburg in 1908 and started dancing in Paris.
He took an active role as a top dancer of "Ballets Russes", which Diaghilev founded in 1911. Diaghilev was a leading producer of the time and Ballets Russes had a big impact on the subsequent ballet and music.
Nijinski, who was called a lover of Diaghilev, played the lead one after another in such as "Le Spectre de la rose", "Petrushka", and won popularity.
On May,1912, "The afternoon of a faun" that Nijinski himself choreographed was first performed, which made a great sensation in Paris.
But he was expelled from Ballets Russes in 1913, because of his marriage without Diaghilev's permission.
After that, Nijinski had shown the sign of schizophrenia from about 1918, never performed since then, roamed several sanatoriums and died in 1950, at the age of 60.
Nijinski, who arouse rejection as well as enthusiastic praise, took an active part for only about 8 years. Due to this, he was often called a legendary ballet dancer.

Nijinski was highly evaluated for his technique called "miracle jump" (Ilia's successful jumps are also high, you know) and ability of carrying complex feeling by his body.
His "The afternoon of a faun" exceeded common sense of the conventional ballet. Stern disapproval against its indecency as well as admiration were given to this sensual program,in that he expressed the faun's emotion by only gesture without any jump or difficult skill.

Ilia's "The afternoon of a faun" evokes Nijinski's atmosphere and choreography very well. Ilia doesn't express indecency, but expresses the magic atmosphere into that everyone is pulled. Even seeing these pictures shows you that. The right picture is similar to Ilia's last pose.
And you can see a small movie made to compare the choreography of two fauns at this, Ilia's official site.
Now, the most famous program Nijinski himself choreographed and performed was "The afternoon of a faun", he performed many programs such as "Scheherazade", "Le Spectre de la rose", "Petrushka" (they were choreographed by Fokin) except it.
Though the music of "Petrushka" that Nijinski performed was written by Stravinsky, you wonder whether Ilia's "Petrushka" has something to do with Nijinski, don't you?
Yeah, this is the picture of Nijinski's "Petrushka". We were surprised and found nothing to say when we first saw this picture.
This is the same pose of Ilia, at the beginning of the slow part of "Petrushka", after the triple salcow.
Though the impression is different because of the difference of music, the choreography of the slow part of Ilia's "Petrushka" looks like that of bequeathed Nijinski's "Petrushka".
Nijinski's "Petrushka" expresses the grief of marionette. Ilia expresses this greatly, doesn't he?
Exactly "the humor and pathos of the pierrot"(that Japanese sportscaster Mr.Kariya described).

Now, Ilia's programs of the new season haven't yet been declared and we don't know whether Ilia will perform the program being to do with Nijinski. But we want to express our thanks to great Nijinski for marking the start of showing us, the ages about 90 years after him, Ilia Klimkin's brilliant programs.
