Artigo sobre a estréia do fauno em 1912 e algumas de suas subsequentes apresentações em países diversos.
L'Apres-midi d'un faune was choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky for the Diaghilev Ballets Russes and was first performed in Paris on May 29, 1912, with Nijinsky
dancing the role of the Faun. Both the ballet and score to which it was
set, Claude Debussy's 'Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune', were
inspired by the poem of the same title by Stephane Malarme. Design was
by Leon Bakst.
Choreographic features of the work include a frieze-like archaic
design, profiled stance, and alternation of movement and pose. The spare
libretto centres on the faun's meeting and flirtation with nymphs, and
the piece concludes with a scene of simulated masturbation that
scandalized early audiences.
The de Basil Ballets Russes revival of L'Apres-midi d'un faune
premiered in London on October 2, 1933, and Australian audiences first
saw the work during the 1936-1937 tour by the Monte Carlo Russian
Ballet. Its first performance was in Adelaide on October 20,1936. The
review in The Advertiser the following day noted that the work
'struck a new note in ballet', and hailed Leon Woizikowsy as
'magnetis[ing] the audience with his amazing delineation of the part of
The Faun'. The ballet was subsequently seen in Sydney and Melbourne.
During the second Ballets Russes tour by the Covent Garden Russian Ballet a truncated solo version was performed by David Lichine in a 'principles only' farewell gala in Sydney on 27 April 1939.
