Patrick Dupond


 
In this autobiography, Patrick Dupond let us know his souvenirs and projects and gives us his desire to live and survive despite the difficulties.


Patrick Dupond has started writing this book to reeducate his paralyzed right hand, because of an accident. Quickly, writing his story likes him and he tells us the story of a dream child became reality: dancing.


Thirty years dedicated to ballet dance: at eight the first courses with Max Bozzoni who will become his ballet master, his entry to the French Opera de Paris, his nomination as a "principal dancer" ("étoile" in French) in 1980 and his nomination as a director of the French Opera de Paris in 1990.


A huge evolution due to his big talent but also to his willing of always being the best.
His charism, his beauty, his technical knowledge, his incredible energy quickly make him an international star.

Rebel, he wants to show his difference and considers himself as an "actor who dances".
