The ballet Swan Lake is a staple of classical theatrical dance in the West. It stands serenely on a pedestal, worshiped by little girls in tiny tutus. Who would dare to attempt such a daunting task as re-interpreting Swan Lake? Idan Cohen.
This Israeli choreographer's vision is realized through three female dancers who stay on stage throughout the entire piece. The work is given a complete aesthetic overhaul, with dark colors and twisted shapes.
