Cygne (Le)

Year of production
1983

Sit down with her head thrown back and her trembliong arms, Yvette Chauviré goes again through « La Mort du Cygne ».

Seated, her head tilted back, her arms trembling, Yvette Chauviré relives La Mort du Cygne (The Dying Swan). Here she transmits to Dominique Khalfouni her knowledge and interpretation of one of the leading roles of romantic ballet.

Le Spectre de la danse (The Spectre of dance) is the title of the film that Dominique Delouche produced on classical dance in 1961. For this director who strives to show the Etoiles in a new light without tarnishing their aura or their disembodied image, this film is a manifesto. The title was then used as the generic name for the series of seven short films produced between 1961 and 1986 :
