Aurélie Dupont: 3 Years Backstage with a Prima Ballerina | SLICE Who? | FULL DOC

Aurélie Dupont, principal dancer with the Paris Opera Ballet, is followed for three years by Cédric Klapisch. The film closely observes her daily work, from morning classes to rehearsals for major ballets, revealing the discipline, precision, and physical demands that underpin each appearance on stage.

Between Swan Lake, The Lady of the Camellias, Raymonda, and Le Parc, this portrait also follows her motherhood, her return after more than a year's absence, and her collaborations with several leading figures in dance. An intimate look at the profession of principal dancer, far removed from the purely prestigious image of ballet.
