Acting
Ruth Page was an American dancer and choreographer who created innovative works on American themes. She was one of the first choreographers to create ballets using American themes.
The Black Death is ravaging Spain. As Camille Saint-Saëns's "Danse Macabre" plays on the soundtrack, a mix of animation and acted scenes tells the story of Youth and Love meeting one night. They dance, embrace, and kiss. As the night wears on, exuberant Death, a skeletal figure with a violin, pursues the couple. They try to elude him. Eventually, Love swoons. Youth is powerless to protect her. Is she doomed?
Memorably bizarre TV version of Ruth Page's ballet. Alice goes down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass to win her crown, but she also takes a detour to the moon where she meets stars, an astronaut, and signs of the Zodiac.
