After Snow White and Romeo and Juliet, Angelin Preljocaj is returning to story ballet and his taste for stories.

Combining Tchaikovsky’s musical masterpiece with more contemporary arrangements as he likes to do, he takes possession of the myth of the swan-dancer. A work begun in 2018 with Ghost, in which he paid tribute to Marius Petipa, projecting himself into the choreographer’s imagination at the same moment as the idea of his Swan Lake occurred to him.
