FILM TIP “RESILIENT MAN”
At the height of his career, dancer Steven McRae, first soloist of the Royal Ballet, was injured and collapsed on stage. The film accompanies him on his way back to the top of the ballet scene. On Wednesday, September 11, 2024, there will be a special screening in the Zurich cinema “Le Paris” at 19:00 in the presence of Steven McRae, followed by a Q&A. The official film release in German-speaking Switzerland is Thursday, September 12, 2024.
In the larger German-speaking cities in Switzerland, there will also be exclusive special performances followed by a panel discussion. Participants will include representatives from the local dance scene such as Sarah-Jane Brodbeck, artistic director of the “Homage to Ballet” gala, Frank Fannar Pedersen, artistic director of the St. Gallen Stadttheater and Isabella Spirig, new managing director of Danse Suisse. “RESILIENT MAN” is a documentary that focuses on the inner strength and resilience of all dancers.
