@Isawthemwhen I would like to have seen his earlier interpretation of this role, and not the later, more superficial (i.e. over-acted!) version. Alas by the time he was touring in all those 'Nureyev and Friends' things he was much older, and no longer dancing well. He was very ill, and his body, feet and ankles were worn and damaged. His blazing spirit, however, never dimmed until the very end. I suspect that dancing on and on kept him alive.

@pediatrapaola Like or dislike this piece - Rudolf Nureyev was not Christopher North! They were totally different dancers. Nureyev had to find HIS way of inhabiting the role, rather than merely attempting copy its originator.

Remember that Rudi chose to tackle such unusual roles. He loved working with contemporary choreographers. He loved to try new steps, new ideas, new approaches to dance. After all, he was no longer young, and he had already triumphed in all the great classical roles.

I love and respect Nureyev. I don't like this piece, nor its ear-splittingly unpleasant score. My personal opinion, only - others may find both delightful. When Nureyev first tackled this role he did it very differently - and far more effectively, I have read - than in later versions. The clip in I AM A DANCER drew sad cricitism from friends and dance professionals for his gaping-mouthed, whimsical, overly childlike facial expressions. Even so he was eager to experiment and take risks.

Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed his performance on stage, I certainly don't think Tetley or he made a mistake or that it was "awful." He was trying to experiment with other forms of dance, you have to give him credit for having the courage and also he revealed a deep vulnerability in this role. The only thing disconcerning was the shaking tower and isolation, but it was absolutely fascinating and stands as an example of his ambidexterity and versatility .
