Ludmilla Chiriaeff, founder of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, choreographed Norman McLaren's animated masterpiece Pas de deux in 1967. In this video the image of Madame Chiriaeff is superimposed on Pas de deux as she speaks with intensity of herself and her approach to life, the effects illness and aging have had on her body, her spiritual growth, and the joy of giving.
