Jeux is among the least known ballets made by Vaslav Nijinsky. It had its premiere in Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris in 1913 just two weeks before the Le Sacre du Printemps. The only remains of this poème dansé – as Nijinsky called it – that are left are six press photos, few sketches, reviews and the music of Claude Debussy which became an icon in the history of music as the first modernistic composition. The ballet has remained a secret. Based on these few documents Liisa Pentti together with the working group will re-imagine the mysterious ballet with its hidden language in true futuristic spirit.
