...film consists of segments from four of the Royal Ballet's repertoire, each a pas de deux featuring Nureyev and ballerina. La Sylphide, with Carla Fracci and The Sleeping Beauty, with Lynn Seymour, are both classical works. Field Figures, with Deanne Bergsma, choreographed by Glen Tetley, is a modern ballet.

Here four white figures emerge beneath what appears to be a giant morning glory about to devour the piano. Each announces, "I came into the world..." and begins a work which consists of nothing but confessional sentences beginning with "I." Amid a set that looks like Design Research kindergarten toys, the actors deliver such lines as "I learned to distinguish between nouns and verbs," "I appropriated property in disregard of the general...
