Watch An Evening with Taglioni 6m5d2l

Based on the true story of legendary ballerina, Marie Taglioni - the first woman to go "en pointe." As the legend goes, after she retired, her pointe shoes were bought by a fan, then cooked at a lavish dinner party and served to 35 guests. It is a surreal, comical romp through the party evening. Created in partnership with the English National Ballet and featuring 20 of their dancers alongside a principal cast of actors and dancers, including Alessandra Ferri and Antonia schi, ''An Evening with Taglioni'' is a fantastically fun short independently produced with from Arts Council England. This short film was part of a past San Francisco Dance Film Festival season. Tune in this October to see select films from the 2024 festival. 3g1f1z
