In 1989, Bronislava Nijinska’s daughter, Irina Nijinska, supervised the reconstruction of Les Noces for the Dance Theatre of Harlem. One review noted that “66 years after its premiere, the ballet remains astonishingly experimental.” Another critic said: “Les Noces was deftly done, both in the rendition of Stravinsky’s pungent score and in the dancing.”
