The Story

This captivating documentary explores the revolutionary Ballet Russes company that transformed modern ballet through an unprecedented collaboration of Russian, American, European, and Latin American artists. Featuring rare archival footage, the film traces the company's Diaghilev-era beginnings in Paris and showcases legendary figures like Dame Alicia Markova, Frederic Franklin, Nijinsky, Balanchine, Picasso, Matisse, and Stravinsky who merged dance with ego, love, politics, and war.
