Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky's masterpiece, is choreographed by Angelin Preljocaj in a version that is perfectly balanced between homage and an assertive shift in style.
After the success of Snow White and Romeo and Juliet, Angelin Preljocaj has returned to his taste for choreographic narrative. In this version of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, he modifies some of the characters in the tale and adapts the score to make it a journey through the composer's work. But above all, he offers a version that is as contemporary as it is personal of this immortal myth of the bird-woman, of this hymn to the lost love of Prince Siegfried and Odette, by completely recasting Marius Petipa's choreography in a contemporary gesture of incarnation. A rereading that is both faithful to the spirit of a timeless masterpiece and profoundly innovative in its aesthetics and in its ability to question the ghosts of our contemporary world.
