Luke Murphy

Chip est danseur et n'a qu'un seul but dans la vie : réussir à vivre de sa passion. Fraîchement débarqué à New York, il intègre une troupe de danse moderne à Soho et est vite confronté aux rites de passage d'un danseur à New York rythmés par la discipline, le travail acharné, la camaraderie, la compétitivité, la peur de ne pas être à la hauteur et la satisfaction personnelle. Durant sa dure initiation, il va trouver réconfort auprès de Théo, un autre danseur.

This new Christmas ballet film was conceived by Matthew Bourne and directed by his long standing film collaborator Ross MacGibbon. The film celebrates Bourne's power to imaginatively transform ballet, taking dance and dancers off the stage into studio, bringing together projections, animation, and an intimate shooting style to produce a distinctive new way of presenting dance on screen. Those who know Bourne's stage work will spot extracts from many of his biggest hits (including Swan Lake, Edward Scissorhands, and Nutcracker!), but for audiences less familiar with his work this is simply a journey through a series of magical worlds where stories are told through dance.
