简介：A RESILIENT MAN charts the physical and mental journey back from the brink of Steven McRae, one of the Royal Ballet’s principal dancers. In the middle of a performance in 2019, he was catastrophically injured, tearing his Achilles tendon. At 35 years old his career was dramatically halted just as it was reaching its peak, to the extent that he wondered if he would ever be able to dance again. Could he ever return to the stage and stay on it for the entire season? Would he ever be able to get back to the level he was at before the fall? Over the course of a year, director Stéphane Carrel filmed the return of this spectacular dancer to his company, his recovery training alongside a deeper question of whether the pressures of being an elite performer contributed to his downfall. Can Steven triumph against the setbacks and dance his way back into the light?
