A life full of contradictions
Great character actress, fascinating woman and symbol of a life full of contradictions - Romy Schneider once said of herself: "I can do nothing in life, but everything on the screen." Experience a touching homage to one of the most dazzling and at the same time most tragic figures in film history. After "The Great Gatsby", "Frida Kahlo" and "Lágrimas Negras", star choreographer Enrique Gasa Valga once again brings a moving story to life through dance with his Limonada Dance Company.
Both a curse and a blessing
In Enrique Gasa Valga's new dance piece, Romy's extraordinary artistic career and her inner struggle merge into a captivating production. The path from her early career as a "sweet Viennese girl" and Sissi actress - "a curse and a blessing at the same time", as she said - to becoming a celebrated icon of French cinema was marked by highs and lows. Pushed into this role as a young girl by her mother and stepfather "Daddy" for financial reasons, Romy's rocky road began. But through her encounter with Alain Delon during the filming of Christine in 1958, she began to emancipate herself both personally and as an actress and to create a new identity.
Danced biography
Despite her glamor and success, she was torn apart in her private life. Romy found her "true life" on the screen, but away from it she remained a seeker. This dance theater tells her story with great intensity - a life full of contradictions, artistic versatility and personal tragedy. Immerse yourself in an impressive production that brings a legend back to life with gripping choreography and deep respect. The musical accompaniment is once again provided by the charismatic singer Greta Marcolongo and her fantastic band.
