拍品專文

Le Dieu Bleu was a one-act ballet created by the librettists Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) and Federicode Madrazo y Ochoa (1875-1934) for Sergei Diaghilev’s (1872-1929) Ballets Russes. The production was designed by Bakst and choreographed by Michel Fokine (1880-1942), starring Vaclav Nijinsky (1889-1950) in the lead role of 'The Blue God', Tamara Karsavina (1885-1978) as the 'Young girl' and Bronislava Nijinska (1891-1972) as 'The Drunken Temple Dancer'. The premiere took place on 13 May 1912 at Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris, but, with the exception of Bakst’s lauded designs, was not well received.
