The Allegory of Nijinsky

Not the life story of Vaslav Nijisky, but the "spirit of Nijinsky’s dancing" through her characters – Lucifer and Jean. Lucifer was a ballet genius, "a creature of God" who, like the real life Nijinsky, sought to dance as if he had "connected his soul to God." Jean, however a critically-acclaimed ballet choreographers he already was when he met Lucifer, was still searching for "the soul" who would be able carry out his vision and the perfections he was seeking in his ballet. When not dancing, Lucifer demonstrated his innate shyness and introversion; Jean, on the other hand, was a lonesome genius whose visions of arts would always require a higher plane of understanding and appreciation of others.
