Etoiles: Dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet and Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris document the daily lives of the stars of the Paris Opera Ballet, the path to be taken, sacrifices made, and obstacles to overcome in order to become a dancer at this level. This rarely seen footage of dancers in rehearsals, onstage, and backstage opens a window onto one of the greatest dance companies in the world.
A panel of dancers from the Paris Opera Ballet will comment on the film and answer questions from the audience, among them: Mathieu Ganio, Etoile, the son of Dominique Khalfouni, former Etoile with the Paris Opera Ballet; Eve Grinsztajn, Première Danseuse; and Cyril Mitilian, Coryphée.
Screening and Panel Discussion. A reception follows. Members of the public are welcome.
