60-minute film in which ballet star Darcey Bussell undertakes a very personal journey to meet the heroes and dancers who transformed male ballet.
One of several collaborative dance films by the Brothers Quay & (dancer, choreographer) William Tuckett. Little enough info around on line, but there's briefly by way of Wikipedia entry. Adapted rather loosely from the works of the E.T.A. Hoffman. Familiar Quays' tropes, much in evidence: automata, trompe l'oeil effects, etc. No credit on the sound design (which is fairly elaborate), tho' that is possibly Larry Sider.

Romeo
Cuando se le planteó a Sergei Prokofiev la composición de un ballet basado en la tragedia de Shakespeare, de los dos jóvenes amantes, el músico vaciló. No estaba seguro de que se pudiera traducir el contenido psicológico complejo del drama a un medio sin palabras. Finalmente compuso Romeo y Julieta en la primavera y el verano de 1935. El estreno tuvo lugar en Brno, Checoslovaquia, en diciembre de 1938.
