Mathieu Ganio: A Romantic Étoile Dancer A documentary by Marlène Ionesco

About

The son of two étoile dancers—from the Paris Opera Ballet and Roland Petit’s Ballet national de Marseille—Mathieu Ganio was destined for ballet greatness. His elegance and excellence as a partner have brought him renown in his own right, working with brilliant ballerinas like Olesia Novikova, Ouliana Lopatkina, Svetlana Lounkina, and Evguenia Obraztsova.

This documentary by Marlène Ionesco focuses on the dancer’s relationship with his mother: a touching story that brings the viewer into the intimacy of their family life while simultaneously exploring some of the greatest roles of the ballet repertoire.
