 Ballet-Dance Magazine - Hamburg Ballet - Nijinsky - Costa Mesa, California
As Nijinsky descends into insanity, Neumeier is suggesting to us that in the artist's eyes, it is the world that has gone mad.
Czech dancer, Otto Bubenícek, who along with his twin Jiri rose rapidly up the ranks of the company, is a compelling Vaslaw, gripping the audience in his personal madness and anguish while Alexandre Riabko, who alternates the role with Bubenícek for the US tour, appears a tad more overtly suggestive and longing for familial love.
Both Jurgensen and Polikarpova are believable as first the starstruck admirer who is transfixed by the beauty of the onstage Nijinsky and then later a distraught wife who resorts to infidelity but sticks by her man through his bad times.

 Hamburg Ballet - Nijinsky - Gia Kourlas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
This version of Nijinsky’s life falls into the category of trying to make insanity hot (as opposed to truly sad, which it was), or unintentionally funny, which is more often the unfortunate case.
Eventually, the crowd parts and we are forced to endure an overly long and obligatory seduction scene between Nijinsky and Diaghilev (there is an encore of this a bit later with Romola).
As Nijinsky, Bubenícek is both a cartoon character whose insanity is indicated in clichéd images—he rubs his chest in agony, he droops to the floor after a failed pirouette and he greets images of his past roles, all portrayed by other dancers, with the delight of a retarded child.

 Movie Info for Nijinsky: From the Diaries of Vaslav Nijinsky on MSN Movies
For a brief span of several years, Vaslav Nijinsky was perhaps the brightest star in the history of classical dance.
Nijinsky's fame came not just from his technical skills as a dancer, but his bold and unrelenting desire to expand the boundaries of what could be expressed through the medium of ballet.
His beliefs struck many as perilously close to madness, and in 1919, a few months after his final performance, Nijinsky was committed to a mental institution, where he would remain until his death in 1950.

But with iconic status sometimes comes a flattening of character, and John Neumeier’s depiction of the famous dancer in the evening length Nijinsky has fallen into this trap.
Neumeier devotes most of his two-and-half-hour ballet to placing Nijinsky’s inner landscape onstage, creating a swirl of impossible-to-digest dance that presents Nijinsky as a one-dimensional figure, lost in the swirl.
The man who created the first truly modern ballets and passed through two complicated relationships, first with impresario Serge Diaghilev, then later his wife Romola, appears the same throughout Neumeier’s ballet.
