transit—Nijinski à minuit
Romina Achatz and others
For this project, we asked ten dancers and film director Romina Achatz, who had been working with Ko Murobushi, to make a film as part of their research.
The dancers improvised their own interpretations of “Nijinski à minuit,” and Romina Achatz used the dancers’ footage as material to make the film “transit—Nijinski à minuit” based on her interpretation of the work. [Ko&Edge]
