How incredible to finally see this legendary ballet after only reading about it. Beautifully staged and danced. I would only point out that the dancing of Nijinska's day emphasized flair a little more than flexibility, so I would have enjoyed just a little more fire in the face and port-de-bras. It was all suitably earthy and full. The counterpoint was fascinating, as well as the abstraction of Spanish Dance. It certainly shows why Nijinska was one of the most important choreographers of the 20th century and all her ballets should be restored. I am curious how it was reconstructed.
I'm assuming this is based on the reconstruction done by Nina Youshkevitch for the Oakland Ballet in 1995. She was the last surviving dancer from the original 1928 production for the Ida Rubenstein company
@@Fonseca429 And what gave you that that idea and how do you "know" it? You are watching the original the way it should be... not all ballets have a plot, many don't. Look at scores of Balanchine's ballet where you will not see any plots.
Stunning Maria Aleksandrova. ❤ I love the original Ninjinska's version.

Bronislava Nijinska does intensity like nobody else
just amazing
Наконец то нашла постановку. Надоел Бежар. Никогда не сходила с ума.
wonderful ♥
The ending echoes the ending of Nijinsky's Rite of Spring!
Are you talking about music or choreography/dance? "Echoes" would apply usually to music which I Stravinsky, Nijinsky was a dancer.

Fresh Mediterranean warmth right from your deep freezer.
Plot?
Not every ballet or dance has a plot, just enjoy
@@BytomGirl This ballet is supposed to have a plot.
@@Fonseca429 Do yo see a plot? It is original choreography and no, it never had a plot and neither does Bejjart version, just an eye candy
@@BytomGirl I know that there is a plot.
