Summary:
Chronicles the lives, the loves, and the madness of ballet's legendary and mercurial star Vaslav Nijinsky. Onstage, Nijinsky, the most celebrated dancer of the early 20th century, was in flawless control. Offstage, he was in turmoil, torn between the beautiful ballerina he married and Sergei Diaghilev, the domineering mentor he loved. Diaghilev was the impresario and founder of Ballets Russes.
