Throwback Thursday and Dying Swan Film



Throwback Thursday and Dying Swan Film

Most dancers are familiar with Pavlova’s signature piece The Dying Swan. But there is also a 1917 film by the same name.

The plot of this drama goes as follows: “Gizella, who is a dancer and mute, falls in love with Victor, whom she met at the lake. She believes that love is mutual, but then sees Victor with another girl after he cancels a date with her. She becomes an object of sympathy for the artist Glinsky, who sees Gizella dancing The Dying Swan and uses her as a model for a picture on the theme of death.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dying_Swan_(film)

The movie starred Vera Karalli as Gizella. See my previous blog about her here: http://balletwebb.blogspot.com/search?q=Karalli


From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #229:
The Dying Swan was a 1917 film.”
