"NIJINSKY BALLET" "About the Ballet - Figures: The Music of the Ballet 'L'Après - Midi d'un Faune' is from Claude Debussy, and the costume and stage design was done in 1912 from the Russian stage-designer Léon Bakst. The dancer Vaslav Nijinsky did the Choreography and the libretto to this ballet and he dances the faun. In English the title will be similar to .Afternoon of a faun. Vaslav Nijinsky was the most famous ballet dancer in the first part of the last Century, and hundreds of artists and writers have used his mythic icon to work with. There are sculptors and paintings from Auguste Rodin, Amedeo Modigliani, Aristide Maillol, Jean Cocteau, Vassili Kandinsky, and from many others. Debussy wrote the music for this ballet especially for Nijinsky, Stravinsky his 'Petroushka', Richard Strauss his 'Till Eulenspiegel', Maurice Ravel his 'Daphnis und Cloé' and more. My interpretation is, that the Nymph, (a being who always escape the man, because they are extremely shy), is dominating the faun and he seems fine with this." Brigitte Deval
