Internationally acclaimed Photographer David Hamilton invites the viewer to share delicate moments in ballet. His images of young dancers capture the essence of “grace at rest” and “poetry in motion”. These tender photographic impressions are accompanied by musical masterpieces created especially for the art form. “La Danse” includes unpublished pictures of Rudolf Nureyev, the 20th century’s greatest male dancer. The best of romantic ballet classics, for example: Tchaikovskys „Swan Lake“, „Sleping Beauty“ and other „invitations to dance“, performed under the direction of Günther Herbig, Herbert Kegel and Willi Boskovsky.
