On July 17th 2010, 16 guest dancers from the Royal Ballet Covent Garden gave an open-air performance in a small village in south-west France, combining some of the world’s most popular and enduring ballet sequences with a selection of cutting-edge contemporary choreography.

Written, produced and directed by Conor Murphy and Steven Benedict, this film follows the dancers as they prepared for this unique performance set against the backdrop of the 8th century Abbey of Lagrasse.
