The acclaimed 2010 film Black Swan offers a strange and terrifying interpretation of the dance world, revolving around a ballerina succumbing to the stress of her starring role and her conflicted feelings about her mother and demanding and seductive artistic director. Natalie Portman’s performance in the starring role earned a best-actress Oscar. On the heels of the Kansas City Ballet’s first full production of Swan Lake—perhaps the most recognized classical ballet of all time—at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, the Library revisits the psychologically searing film with a screening and subsequent discussion. Leading the conversation are ballerina Tempe Ostergren, in her fifth season with the Kansas City Ballet, and psychoanalyst David Donovan.
