given Nureyev's tragic fate (casualty of the AZT pushers), I don't think I can bring myself to watch. the thought occurred to me today that my nightly dreams are more substantial in many respects than this warped reality that it is impossible to escape (cf. the ending of "TXH118"). another year notched and it's still the bad guys who reign supreme. it's hard not to conclude that our species has become a blight upon this planet while at the same time holding fast to the notion that it doesn't have to be this way.
It is our own choice at the level of our soul how deeply we engage with trauma of self and/or more universally. I ask myself what can I change about myself, and work on that. We are vibrations and aether more than we are atoms in this illusory time and space. I prefer the beauty of the breath, of the heart, and embracing my (and our collective) mortality, helping others as best I can. I try to live and 'be' in the 'now' according to "Healer, heal thyself," self-love, self-forgiveness. Each to his/her own. I'm free in my heart and mind, an optimist. In a spiritual paradigm ('war' as many suggest) the questions and answers are deep in our spiritual identity. We might ask that if our widest dreams came true would we then be peaceful? I wonder. Peace is now in the moment, IMHO. Love, gratitude, peace.
WHAT A FIND! I had just entered high school before this event. My girlfriend danced ballet and later was accepted by a NY ballet company. For freedom she left to study Indian classical and toured villages in India. Thank you!!
Watching a very emaciated ,enblanketed Nureyev in the Carre ,barely into his first 2 years of AZT ('contracted' HIV in 1984)
Amsterdam -advising the direction of HNB on live choreography of Prokovief's Romeo and Juliet was like looking through the wrong end of a telescope.
Similar to those who think this amsterdam was in USA.
Took the rapid ,dramatic sword fight scene orchestra part to Hirshorn for advice ,(H was well within top ten players (vl) in world - ) "Thank you for my (H's) complex for the day'' was the result - it was unplayable 100% of all notes at sight,164 beats per min.
I was not reassured.
I was (later) even less assured to understand why the legendary Nureyev was so near death,enmaciated- keeping warm ,immobile -within a blanket.
Who or what had done this to him?
I later heard that he was AZT 'FOMO'..
In other words - the KGB didnt needn't again try to kill him
Thank you for bringing to our attention the exquisite Nureyev....it's a privilege to see that the hunger for FREEDOM must become the embodiment of the strength of character required from those who seek it!

Inconceivable!

Looking forward to seeing this! Merry Merry, Celia!
Enjoyed this. Thanks!
Celia, Thank you for showing this magnificent Nureyev documentary. Your timing couldn't have been better!!
I personally remember seeing Nureyev dancing with Dame Margot Fonteyn in London.
We are so close to FREEDOM ourselves!🙏🙏
He looked a lot sicker than he was .

Fauci was doing that just fine.

I am so amazed by this documentary about Nureyev and his efforts towards freedom.
A remarkable story about unique characters in artistic expression, also carry a strength upon doing almost the impossible to reach their goals.
Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤️for bringing us all a reminder what we actually are able to.
Merry Christmas 🎄 to everyone and may the Happy New year give us all freedom and pease.
