The story is set against the backdrop of the 18th century during the reign of Frederick the Great and follows the journey of a young dancer named Barberina. The narrative explores themes of ambition, artistic expression, and the tension between personal desire and social expectations. The opening of the novel introduces Rinaldo Fossano, a renowned dancer and choreographer grappling with dissatisfaction as he prepares for a performance in Venice. He yearns for a dancer who embodies the ethereal quality of "Psyche" but finds no one among his troupe who meets his ideal. His frustration leads him to a chance encounter with a girl, Barberina, who captivates him with her natural grace, suggesting a profound connection to the elusive quality he seeks. As the scene unfolds, Fossano becomes increasingly determined to help Barberina realize her potential, setting the stage for a complex relationship that intertwines their artistic fates. The opening sets a tone of artistic passion and the pursuit of beauty amid the struggles of life as a performer.
