Since the age of 10, Ángel, César and Marcos Ramírez, identical triplets, were destined for greatness as ballet dancers. The famed prima ballerina assoluta Alicia Alonso, who was blind, chose the triplets by touch. She canvassed their faces and legs and marveled at their identical forms and the boys’ potential. Miss Alonso followed their progress closely and was truly enamored with the three boys during their 8-year training period at the school.
Rising through the ranks of the prestigious Cuban National Ballet School (Esquela National Cubana de Ballet), the brothers came to America to dance professionally. The pandemic forced the brothers apart during a critical window of their careers.
Ángel, César and Marcos will come together to create a world-premiere ballet created on them for the film. The new work will pay homage to their Cuban training and showcase them as the amazing virtuoso classical ballet dancers they are today.
