2. Jeux (Games)

 

Is a ballet written by Claude Debussy, Choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky.

 

Described as a “poème dansé” 

 

Is a garden at dusk; a boy is playing tennis, and suddenly the ball flies away. He goes to find it and meets two girls...

 

They start playing childhood games on the grass, during which a love triangle develops, and then the tennis ball returns.

 

A blend of neoclassical and contemporary ballet styles, and Nijinsky's distinct, his own style: style...
