Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil Le Clercq

Taglines

Overview

Of all the great ballerinas, Tanaquil Le Clercq may have been the most transcendent. With a body unlike any before hers, she mesmerized viewers and choreographers alike. With her elongated, race-horse physique, she became the new prototype for the great George Balanchine. Because of her extraordinary movement and unique personality on stage, she became a muse to two of the greatest choreographers in dance, George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. She eventually married Balanchine, and Robbins created his famous version of Afternoon of a Faun for her. She had love, fame, adoration, and was the foremost dancer of her day until it suddenly all stopped. At the age of 27, she was struck down by polio and paralyzed. She never danced again. The ballet world has been haunted by her story ever since.

Nachmittag eines Fauns - Tanaquil Le Clercq

Taglines

Overview

Tanaquil Le Clercq war immer anders. In einer Zeit, in der Tänzerinnen klein, kompakt und schnell waren, verblüffte sie mit langbeiniger Magerkeit. Ihren elegant durchtrainierten Körper setzte sie auf völlig neue Art ein, ihre Bewegungen waren „ein ausgestreckter Pfad zum Himmel“, wie einer ihrer Tanzpartner sagt. Damit bezauberte sie schon als Teenager den großen George Balanchine und prägte den Typ der modernen Primaballerina. Doch als Tanny 27 Jahre alt war, nahm ihr Lebenstraum ein brutales Ende. Eine Polio-Infektion fesselte sie für den Rest ihres Lebens an den Rollstuhl. Mit der Härte und Beharrlichkeit, mit der sie fürs Ballett trainiert hatte, nahm sie den Kampf mit der Krankheit auf. Die Ärzte sagten, sie würde kaum 40 werden. Tanaquil Le Clercq hat sie Lügen gestraft.
