Mikhail Baryshnikov: The Dancer and the Dance
He is a man who redefined the art of dance for the 20th century. From his childhood in the Soviet Union and his legendary leap to freedom in 1974 to his reign as the most celebrated male dancer in the world, this episode of BIOGRAPHY follows the extraordinary life of Mikhail Baryshnikov. We explore the relentless drive of a perfectionist who conquered the classical stage of the Kirov and the American Ballet Theatre, before daring to reinvent himself as a modern dance pioneer and an Oscar-nominated actor. Featuring rare performance footage and intimate interviews, discover the grace, the athleticism, and the quiet mystery of the man who proved that dance could be a universal language of freedom.
If you’re on the hunt for a TV series that combines historical charm with family drama and a touch of humor, look no further than "The Little History of France." This French show has quickly gained popularity for its unique premise: it explores the lives and relationships of famous historical figures' cousins. With five seasons and an impressive 517 episodes, this series promises to keep viewers entertained while imparting bits of history in an engaging format.
At the heart of "The Little History of France" are its vibrant characters, each expertly portrayed by a talented cast. Alban Ivanov shines as François d'Arc, effortlessly bringing humor to his role while also highlighting the complexities that come with being part of a notable family. Alongside him is David Salles as Jean Plancher, whose previous roles have shown his versatility as an actor.

One aspect that sets "The Little History of France" apart from other shows is its clever blending of comedy with historical narratives. Much like other popular shows such as "Relatively Nat & Liv" or "Cousins for Life," it dives deep into familial ties but does so through a humorous lens that keeps audiences laughing while they learn. The creators Frank Cimière, Jamel Debbouze, and Laurent Tiphaine skillfully craft episodes filled with witty dialogues and unexpected twists that make even history buffs chuckle.
