In the People’s Republic of Poland, her figures were erased from Polish history, despite the fact that she was successful in many different ways. Nina Nova, one of the incredible classical ballet, marks a famous icon of New York’s Russe De Monte Carlo. Hollywood dreamed of making her a movie star. Together with Elisabeth Taylor, Polka competed in the film “Cleopatra”. Novak withdrew from casting, a new dance. Primabalerina lived 94 years and died in the United States.
Excerpt from the book “Dancing on the rubble. Nina Novak in Marek with Wiktor Krajewski“:
Let us return to the European tour with Ms Bronisława Niżyńska. In Paris, your mentor wins an award and then you move to London.
It was 1938. Crazy time when I got to know the life of a dancer. I liked the vision there: a local website of the world, I meet people who in Warsaw had no information that they had seen. I get to know a different culture, different customs. Before the war, the world was not at hand and was not open to young people, as it is today. We worked very hard and unfortunately we didn’t visit Paris or London. I didn’t get to know these places, but the mere thought that I was in remote parts of Europe made me proud. I wanted to live like this. I wanted it even more than before. I remember calling my Józio who had a record of success and every step can have a good result. I was my good spirit. The best friend for whom I was willing to do anything. To this day, I remember the happiness that I saw in his eyes, in his voice, when I heard that Nijinsky improved me. Józio was always cheering for me and I kept my fingers crossed for me. It is extremely important to have a person who believes in you so completely, who will always support you with a kind word, no matter what happens.
It is unfortunate for me the news that Niżyńska with the return of the ballet to the whole Poland with the position. In order to implement the layer for us, because its knowledge, in all cases, and took place on the severity of the impact. She was born to be an educator. Unfortunately, it was misunderstood, and thus the same number of people. Many great life artists are not appreciated too. And from the location of Nijinskaya, this is what you can define. The times she lived in did not understand her. And it’s a pity …
An unquestionable trademark was the periodic period as the time of departure with the entire scientific ballet team to Nowe.
The application that we will perform the ballet at the world exhibition, which indicates that what is known in 1939 in New York had occurred, the company could find as only girls in the new city. I rubbed my eyes with amazement, because a trip across the ocean to a place where you could only read that it was almost unreal. in the United States to places that humans cannot reach. And I will stop at this time.
