I apologize not being able to find in the web the complete and better resolution image version of this short-tv-film enjoyed at a public exhibition (Arstronomy at La Casa Encendida in Madrid). I found it astounding.

Astronomie Ballet
Re: Astronomie Ballet
ASTRONOMIE (Astronomy), 1968
Ballet by Milko Sparembeck
With a narrative by Carole Sosnowsky
And featuring Nanon Thibon and
Cyril Atanassof, principal dancers of
the Paris Opera
Music by Pierre Henry
Sculptures by Nicholas Sch6ffer
Somewhere
in the cosmos, a
marvellous enigmatic star rotates,
rotates eternally...
From the Earth
a satellite is launched...
Fantastic journey
through space...
The satellite
reaches the star's
zone of attraction;
closer and closer
with each revolution,
as if spellbound...
Desperate efforts
to reach the unreachable...
until the fatal clash...
Unperturbed, the star
continues on its course...
