A Siamese Dialogue With Nijinsky

“One hundred years ago, Vaslav Nijinsky performed [Fokine’s] Danse Siamoise with the Ballets Russes at the Paris Opera. … Little is known of the original choreography for the Danse Siamoise, but, using old photographs and paintings, the Thai choreographer and dancer Pichet Klunchun has now created Nijinsky Siam, a 55-minute stage ‘dialogue’ with Nijinsky, where Mr. Klunchun explores the Russian dancer’s understanding of Thai classical dance and responds to it.”
