A Day in The Life of Elisa Carrillo Cabrera, Prima Ballerina

Elisa Carrillo Cabrera is a prima ballerina with the Berlin State Ballet. From the early hours, the Mexican dancer warms up, trains, and repeats the same steps over and over again.

When the curtain rises in the evening, pain and fatigue vanish.
Until the next morning.
