Documentary on Alicia Alonso, considered by many critics to be the prima ballerina among all the great contemporary ballerinas. Alicia discusses her history in ballet, we glimpse her early life and see her dancing in "Giselle", "The Black Swan", the "Grand Pas de Quatre", and "Carmen". We experience her triumph over blindness, the acclaim she has received from audiences worldwide and, above all, her continuing artistry and exhilarating verve.
Directed by Víctor Casaus, Alicia leans on a strong ensemble — Alicia Alonso, Azari Plisetski, José Parés — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1977.
