Maria - Der Weg einer Tänzerin

'Maria - Der Weg einer Tänzerin' (2011) accompanies a ballet dancer on her way to a permanent engagement at the Stadttheater Bremerhaven. In 76 minutes, Alexander Lüdeking documents sweaty training, concentrated rehearsals and the inspiring premiere. This film derives its special intensity from the emotional closeness to the dancers as well as intimate insights into the everyday dance life of a ballet company. In addition to the leading actress Maria Bayarri Perez, the choreographer and ballet master Sergei Vanaev and various members of the Bremerhaven ensemble have their say. Thanks to the 3D technology, the spectator can experience pirouettes, jumps and stretching exercises in the training hall up close. Just like the dancers, he is eagerly awaiting the premiere of 'The Nutcracker' in the large house of the Stadttheater, because it is only in the backdrops on stage that the rehearsed sequences develop their full power.
