Three completely different stories are told through dance.

Two of Balanchine’s most beloved ballets, Serenade and Orpheus, in this first release in VAI’s historic series featuring the New York City Ballet in Montreal. Beginning in 1954, NYCB’s Artistic Director and co-founder George Balanchine presented the company in performances produced for Radio-Canada, the Montreal division of Canadian Television. These live telecasts capture legendary dancers in core works of NYCB’s repertoire. Serenade stars Jacques d’Amboise, Diana Adams, and Patricia Wilde. Balanchine himself appears on screen to discuss Orpheus, which stars Nicholas Magallanes and Francisco Moncion dancing the roles they created in the 1948 premiere, and Violette Verdy as Eurydice.

Le marionnettiste - Jerry Morgan - également. Jerry, qui pour ses spectacles travaille avec «Clarence et Terrence», ses deux poupées, ignore absolument tout de ce qui l'attend. Et, sans rien comprendre, il se retrouve mêlé à cette sombre histoire d'espions et de documents dérobés...
