The 10th International Festival of Arts “Diaghilev. P.S.” will open on the 14 November 2019. This year the celebration of a full decade of its own pioneering presentations coincides with the 110th anniversary of Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. The chosen theme of “Diaghilev. P.S.” 2019 is therefore highly appropriate: The Legacy of the Ballets Russes in the 20th-21st Centuries: the Russian Seasons as a source of inspiration for contemporary choreographers.
The Festival opens with the Monte Carlo Ballet’s Nijinsky Program, which will be performed on November 14 and 15. Monte Carlo is an essential component in the creative biography of the Ballets Russes. For many years it was the Ballets Russes’s base - rehearsals and premières of all the enterprise’s ballets and operas here, and it is where its creative and financial issues were thrashed out and resolved. After the death of Diaghilev in 1929, the Russian Monte Carlo company was formed, which brought together former Diaghilev dancers.
Nijinsky Program presents four 21st century choreographic versions of Ballets Russes masterpieces: Daphnis & Chloe by Jean-Christophe Maillot, Le spectre de la rose by Marco Goecke, Aimai-je un rêve? by Jeroen Verbruggenand and Petrushka by Johan Inger. The programme is also a double homage: both to the 110th anniversary of the Ballets Russes and to the 130th birthday of the legendary dancer, choreographer and the star of Diaghilev’s Russian seasons - Vaslav Nijinsky, himself a great the innovator in the field of choreography.
