Swan Lake
Angelin Preljocaj’s majestic, socially-invested reworking of Swan Lake is a career high not to be missed. In a world corrupted by industrialisation, the swans struggle with pollution and climate change. An intense ballet that questions our times all the while sharing the magic of the myth.

PRESS QUOTES
« Angelin Preljocaj’s take on Swan Lake is a moment of pure beauty. »
Transfuge, November 2020
« Inventive, spectacular and rich with references, Angelin Preljocaj’s Swan Lake looks at familiar scenes
and figures with new eyes to give them a new meaning. »
Zébuline, October 2020
« Angelin Preljocaj gives a brilliant reinterpretation of Swan Lake’s greatest moments. His elegant and colourful writing is complemented by Éric Soyer’s dreamy lighting and Boris Labbé’s palingenesic scenography. (…) Tchaikovsky’s voluptuous score meets 79D’s contemporary electro, accompanying a creation where the choreographer finds a natural expression of movement. »
