June 25, 1946, Paris. Crowds flock to the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées for the premiere of a ballet based on an argument by Jean Cocteau. The astonishing dancer Jean Babilée takes center stage in the role of a young man dying of love. Fifty-eight years on, choreographer Olga de Soto investigates this now legendary ballet, seeking out the spectators who were there that night to give voice to their memories and gaps in memory. Personal stories mingle with those of the ballet, and few people tell the same story or remember the death that lies at the heart of the piece. source: olgadesoto.com
