A mesmerizing portrait of legendary ballerina Tanaquil Le Clercq, muse to both George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, whose career was cut short by polio at the age of 27. This is a story of how one woman passionately influenced an entire art form. “Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil Le Clercq” is a frighteningly real, gracefully candid portrait of an artist.
