An illustrated biography featuring 300 photos that invites readers to sidle up close to the world of dance and creativity.
"Without others, I would not exist... or barely. Unlike artists or writers who can express their thoughts with a stroke of the brush or the pen, choreographers like me must use the body and mind of the dancer to express ourselves".
After a career spanning 40 years, 30 of them spent leading the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, Jean-Christophe Maillot shares his journey with sensitivity, in a lavishly illustrated book that is as unique and generous as his repertoire. The choreographer does not tell his story alone. More than 50 dancers, choreographers, visual artists, writers, conductors, composers and actors complete the portrait to give us this danse en festin ( Dance as a Feast).
