action
The biography of the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova begins with a scene in which, as a young girl, in cold Saint Petersburg , she watches young dance professionals training through a window. Although she catches a very bad cold in the process, she has made the decision to become not just a dancer, but one of the best.
Her journey from her discovery by the classical master dancer and ballet teacher Marius Petipa and her ascent at the imperial Marien-Theater in St. Petersburg is shown. Here she met the young choreographer Michail Fokin , who was rehearsing the world-famous dying swan with her . In 1909 Sergei Djagilew founded the Ballets Russes in Paris , for which he was able to win over the best Russian dancers and choreographers, including Anna Pavlova. But after a short time she was drawn to London . Here she was also able to celebrate great successes and her triumphal march around the world followed, for example with performances in the USA, Mexico and Venezuela. Her manager, companion and husband Victor Dandré was always there.
Her greatest wish to appear again in the Marien-Theater at home does not come true. Anna Pawlowa died of pneumonia in 1931 during her farewell tour in The Hague .
