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.
