Une étoile pour l'exemple

Ballet legend and choreographer Yvette Chauvire is the subject of this informative documentary that traces her career from the beginning when she burst upon the scene with her 1937 debut, La Mort Du Cygne. Her 1972 farewell performance at the Paris Opera concluded her dancing career. Famed composer Henri Suageut tells the visiting Yvette "I hear my music in your movements." Curiously, an interview with Rudolf Nureyev gives little insight or interest on the dancers or their performance art.
