In addition to fulfilling other engagements, Nijinska spends most of 1926 and 1927 as ballet director at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. Here she stages several of her Ballets Russes and Paris Opéra productions in addition to creating new ballets, including the Colón’s first dance work by an Argentine composer, Cuadro campestre. Les Noces, which premieres only four months after its first performance in London, is a triumph. As a teacher, she has a lasting impact on the rapidly professionalizing corps of young dancers, which includes several of the company’s future ballerinas, while as a choreographer, she aligns the repertory with the latest trends of European ballet modernism. The Colón’s generous salary allows her to pay off most of her debts, while supporting her mother and children in Paris, and paying her own living expenses and those of her husband in Buenos Aires. As her second nine-month engagement comes to an end, she vows to find work in Europe to remain close to her family. |
