On October, 10, 1971, a bimotored Cesna plunged down into the waters of Plata River. The accident took ten victims, all of them members of the ballet company of the Colón Theater. The main dancers, Norma Fontenla and José Neglia died that night, together with the other dancers, Rubén Atanga, Héctor Zambrana, Margarita Fernández, Marta Raspanti, Carlos Santamarina, Sara Bockowsky and Carlos Schiafino. They were flying toward the city of Trelew, where they would perform in the Spanish Theater. The news shocked especially the artistic community and logically so, since the tragic accident had cut off the life of two of the best Argentine dancers, leaving many brilliant careers incomplete. That night, a strange turn of fate decided that Argentine dance should be affected by a loss which was undoubtedly one of its most important ones in its history. JORGE DONN Regarded as one of the most remarkable figures of contemporary dance, this Argentine dancer was at the same time the performer of and inspiration for Maurice Béjart's creations. He started his training in Buenos Aires, in the School of the Colón Theater. As of 1963, he took part in the 20th Century Ballet. His career marked the different aspects of Maurice Béjart's choreographic art. On the other hand, he performed the most remarkable choreographs and was the partner of the great Russian "étoiles": Maya Plissetskaya and Natalia Makarovna.
