The most exotic dance story of the century. Vaslav Nijinsky , one of the founders of modern dance, the boy-friend of the great Diaghilev, spent most of his life insane. Through a specially created ballet, rare photographs and contemporary music and through Nijinsky's own writing, tonight's Omnibus re-creates the story of 'The God of the Dance.' with Dame Marie Rambert, John Hurt as Nijinsky, Nicholas Johnson as the dancer, with Kate Harrison and Gideon Avrahami
(Nicholas Johnson appears by arrangement with Covent Garden)
