NOW PLAYING – In Theatres
An immersive, behind-the-scenes look at one of the world’s leading ballet companies as it mounts a new production of Swan Lake. Ballet icon Karen Kain, on the eve of her retirement, directs the National Ballet of Canada. The film weaves together intimate scenes of the creative process and the dancers’ personal lives. Karen Kain’s parting gift after 50 years as a dancer and Artistic Director, was her own version of Swan Lake focusing on the “trapped women” theme. Kain, the ageless beauty, leaves an indelible imprint in this terrific documentary.
