Books will be written, seams sewn, and city squares named in her honor—how much there is to be said of Russian-Jewish ballerina, Maya Plisetskaya, and yet how little will suffice even the most introductory description to the quintessential firebrand. Instead, take a moment to watch perfection in performance, witness utter humanity in motion.
"A gesture is understood by everyone. A gesture can be like this or it can be one of despair, such a gesture, every gesture, it can be understood, you need nothing else, no words," said Plisetskaya. Allow this to be ours.
Maya Plisetskaya would have been 90 today.
