It will be a great occasion to compare techniques and teachings as well as talk about the future – the commitments and possibilities offered abroad. Dance is a universal language after all. Estéban, Tommaso and Balthazar are from the Opéra's dance school; they have been admitted to the San Francisco ballet school. The school's French director – Patrick Armand – has made his whole career on international stages. The Anhaltische Theater of Dessau's company (former East-Germany) is now comprised of eight dancers. Marin is cumulating the soloist roles, like this time in The Miraculous Mandarin. He is living with his partner, a young German dancer – Maria Sara. In Paris, Marin meets up with Simon – who works at the Opéra – they have the same job but one has a fixed-term contract and the other has a permanent one. One word that makes their lives radically different.
