«J'ai fait le beau au bois dormant» is the autobiographical account by Pedro Pauwels, published by the Centre national de la danse in paperback.
In 2004, dancer and choreographer Pedro Pauwels suffered fulminant meningitis that kept him in an artificial coma for two months and ended in the amputation of a leg. With sobriety and intensity, the author reconstructs the accident, the hospitalisation, the rehabilitation and his determination to dance again, in a testimony marked by vitality and hope.
Text in French, 158 pages. Part of the 'Parcours d'artistes' collection and includes contributions by Marie Essig, Mohamed Ahamada and Francesca Bonato.
Recommended for readers interested in dance, the careers of artists and personal triumph stories.
