Sep 1 2014 Not Rated 1h 38m
Music

The Artist proposes to the distrustful and skeptical Producer the staging of a new ballet starring… swans? What is the story? That of Prince Siegfried and his love for the beautiful Odette, victim of the spell cast by the evil sorcerer Rothbart, an enchantment that turns her and her friends into swans when the light of day tears the dark shadows of night. (The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, April 26th, 2014.)

Plot

Alexander Ekman is an internationally acclaimed choreographer, recognized and sought-after for his unique ability to pair wit and playfulness. His multifaceted talent is not only reflected in the movement but also in the music, light and set brought together in a beautiful and surprising way. He was nominated to the Zwaan award for 2010's most impressive dance production. His new full-length ballet A Swan Lake, nominated for a 2015 Benois de la Danse, takes a fresh look at Tchaikovsky's classic work. On stage we see The Norwegian National Ballet, dressed in costumes by Danish fashion designer Henrik Vibskov.
