Serge Lifar in Icare

Danseur, choreographer and raconteur Serge Lifar (1905 – 1986) made two visits to Australia in his lifetime, first in 1939 as part of the Ballets Russes tours, then later in 1981 to stage Suite en blanc for The Australian Ballet.

Suite en blanc will be performed as part of the Paris Match season in Melbourne 24 June – 4 July.
