In 1912, Nijinsky shocked audiences with his radical movement style and explicit themes in Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, set to the music of Claude Debussy. More than a century later, choreographer Dunja Jocić turns this iconic ballet inside out.

In Afternoon of a Nymph, she shifts the focus from the faun to the nymph, who in the original was merely a silent object of desire. Jocić frees her from this role and explores how identity is shaped by the gaze of the other. What happens when the one who was always observed looks back? In this penetrating performance, perspectives shift and confrontation becomes inevitable. Music plays a key role in this: composer and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Bonny transforms Debussy's music into a penetrating new composition.
