Lonneke van Leth and Eef van Breen set up this version of the world famous Swan Lake to tell the story from the perspective of the last suicide scene.
Starting from the split second in which their entire lives flash in front of their eyes, all the pivotal scenes of the ballet pass by in the minds of prince Siegfried and princess Odette. Supported by a filmed underwater ballet, music and ballet depict only the principal scenes.
For this pilot of Swan Lake the makers offer you the unique opportunity to go behind the scenes to experience from up close a so-called making of of this work in progress, which features a non-stop performance.
This programme is sponsored by the Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst, Amsterdam Noord and the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds. With thanks to De Overkant.
