"Nijinsky" is the title of this "choreographic approach" to a dance phenomenon that has been part of Neumeier's life ever since the beginning of his career.
In life, there was only one Vaslav Nijinsky, but in each Hamburg Ballet performance last week of "Nijinsky", a John Neumeier dance-drama about this unique virtuoso and choreographer, there were seven: one enmeshed in the title character's tangled relationships, six representing the roles he created that came to define his legend.
Nijinsky, in his own works, the greatest virtuoso of his day rejected technical feats for a more stylized and coarsened approach.

The life story of the great dancer Nijinsky has been put into a box of soapflakes and churned with a lot of soft water to produce an awful lot of suds, but nothing much actually comes out clean and bright and we are left with annoying residue.
The film also gives us the impression that Nijinsky went crazy because of his inability to come to terms with his sexuality as well as his break with Diaghilev which are, psychologically, simply not true at all.
Perhaps in today's world Nijinsky could be treated with Lithium or other potent drugs for bipolar abnormalities or schizophrenia, but to suggest that he went crazy because of a broken love affair is just plain silly.
