Sybil Bruncheon’s GREAT MOMENTS IN THE ARTS!!.... On this date, February 2nd, 1918, Vaslav Nijinsky staged his new ballet, “MY PICNIC IS INVISIBLE!”. As the curtain rose he spent the first 20 minutes “finding the perfect spot”, removing twigs, and miming the tablecloth. The first act ended with serving invisible potato salad and bologna sandwiches. Interestingly, he spent the second act slapping away at actual ants which a mischievous stagehand had hidden in his tights.
