With his American culture, his youth and notoriety, and his gift for public relations, Benjamin Millepied is about to dramatically shake up, upset and rejuvenate the prestigious French institution, Opéra National de Paris.
“electrifying viewing” – Screen Daily
From first rehearsal up until opening night, directors Thierry Demaiziere and Alban Teurlai immersed themselves in the world of the Paris Opera, following Millepied every step of the way.
This immersion provides an insight into his creativity, his modernity, and his abundant energy. We discover his approach to choreography, but also witness his relationship with the dancers and how he gets to grips with the administration of such a venerable institution.
