Nijinsky Gaspers

Much has been written about Nijinsky and the Ballet Russe on both sides of the Atlantic, not to mention the rest of the world. My one hope in writing this work is that it will prompt further research into this fascinating group of artists and consequently, the truth about them will be known. Then and only then will my grandfather’s wish will be realized:

They are afraid that I shall tell the whole truth.

I shall tell the whole truth after my death because I shall leave heirs after me.

My heirs will continue what I have started. I shall write the truth.

(Journal of Nijinsky. 1919.)
