Io sono Nijinsky (I am Nijinsky) is a performance project that consists in adapting and staging one of the most painful documents in the history of twentieth-century culture: the diary of the Russian dancer Vaslav Nijinsky. Written in Switzerland, in Saint-Moritz, in the early months of 1919, the text is the account of the outbreak of the illness that plagued the artist for the rest of the dancer’s life: schizophrenia. “The circle is the perfect line”, a sentence written by Nijinsky in his painful and dense personal diary, was the starting element from which I developed this project.
