Superstar dancer Sylvie Guillem has come full circle.
As the ballerina extraordinaire explained before the upcoming grand finale of her 35-year career, "The first time I took a plane to dance in front of an audience outside France was when I was in the Paris Opera Ballet School, and we flew to Japan. And now I finish here, back where I started."
The curtain will come down on the Guillem era with two productions: "Life In Progress" in Tokyo and then "Final," which tours nationwide before the last-ever performance, which is at Kanagawa Kenmin Hall in Yokohama on Dec. 30.
