Read MoreI couldn't sleep last night; Nijinsky haunted my thoughts, among other things. What intrigues me so much? And what am I really looking for? I thought about Artur Japin and his book. I also read an online interview with him about the book and why he wanted to write it. Interestingly, I discovered through that interview that Japin has danced and attended a theater school. With that, we share a common background. We also share a fascination with madness. Growing up in a family where mental health issues were not unfamiliar, I found myself pondering after reading Nijinsky's diaries whether he ever danced again or used his body to express his movement language. I found an answer to this question as well; in the interview, it is mentioned that he spontaneously leaped in front of journalists outside his room, only to fall back into silence.
In a moment of inspiration, I sent a message to Mr. Japin, hoping that he might be willing to share his knowledge with me. We'll see.
