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
