Hans van Manen: Van Oud naar Jong plot
Choreographer Hans van Manen turns 89 this summer. Despite his advanced age, he can still be found at the rehearsals of his ballets as often as possible. And that happens with great regularity, because his ballets are very popular worldwide. Dutch National Ballet has rehearsed a number of Van Manen's highlights in 6 weeks. With the soloists, but also with the young talents of the junior company. And always in the presence of the old maestro. This documentary is about how rehearsing ballets such as 'Sarcasmen' and 'Déjà Vu' works and what is expected of the dancers.
