    DANSE Alessandra Ferri 20.15 dimanche 26 octobre 2003 Contact presse : Frédérique Champs / Vanessa Lassaigne - 01 55 00 70 45 / 44 / [email protected] Retrouvez les dossiers de presse en ligne sur www.artepro.com Alessandra Ferri Coproduction : ARTE France, Telmondis (France, 2003 – 25 min) « Elle est ravissante, son sourire est ir résistible. C’est une créature de rêve comme peuvent l’être les italiennes qui ont la grâce et l’élégance des gens du peuple… Quand elle apparaît, elle a ce côté mystérieux et captivant qui nous séduit d’emblée… C’est une danseuse superbe avec des jambes extraordinaires et des pieds magnifiques.» Roland Petit Ballerine italienne, aujourd’hui à l’apogée de son art, Alessandra Ferri « prima ballerina- étoile » de la Scala de Milan, est considérée comme l’une des plus grandes danseuses classiques internationales. Elle interprète les grands chorégraphes tel que George Balanchine, Marius Petipa, Kenneth Mac Millan, Roland Petit. Alessandra Ferri a très vite été sollicitée par les scènes internationales. Elle fait ses débuts de soliste au Royal Ballet de Londres où le chorégraphe Kenneth MacMillan crée pour elle plusieurs rôles (1983-1895), puis elle est invitée par Mikhaïl Baryshnikov – alors directeur de l’American Ballet Theatre à New York (jusqu’en 1990) pour être sa partenaire. Elle poursuit sa carrière de « Guest artist » avec l’American Ballet Theatre, mais aussi avec Roland Petit et le Balletto Argentino de Julio Bocca. 2 Cet hommage à Alessandra Ferri se compose de cinq séquences : trois extraits de ballets filmés (Roméo et Juliette de Kenneth MacMillan, Le Diable amoureux de Roland Petit, La Somnambule de George Balanchine) et deux courts métrages inédits réalisés par Fabrizio Ferri (Ca r m e n de Roland Petit et Pr é l u d e de Heinz Spoerli).
