DANCER'S DREAM: SLEEPING BEAUTY

Rudolf Nureyev, Dance Director at the Paris Opera for five years, made the greatest ballets in history part of the company's repertoire. These productions of breath-taking beauty were choreographed and directed by Nureyev himself. The company's dancers often remember Nureyev as a "dreamer". All the dancers interviewed in this film helped make Nureyev's dreams come true by bringing to life the roles he chose especially for them. As we accompany them from the initial rehearsals right up to the opening night, we will discover the true essence of each role, and the difficulties linked to its interpretation. We will also talk with them about the particulars of Nureyev's choreographic style and how it influenced their own dancing style in subsequent roles.
