LE LAC DES CYGNES

Based on Swan Lake

ACRO-DANCE AND HAND TO HAND (1h15)

To the music of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake rearranged by Florence Caillon into a current musical score, five circus dancers form an astonishing community of swans.

​

Between illusion of love and recognition of the other, Florence Caillon offers this mythical ballet a circus and contemporary version, enriched by a great novelty of movement.

Both a film music composer and a circus artist, initiator of a choreographed circus, Florence Caillon invites you to dive back into the imagination of this ballet by further strengthening the links between circus movement, choreography and music.

​

Solos, duets, trios, group movements, are inspired alternately by animal and human behavior, and explore the links that unite living beings and found their relationships.

This lake, metaphor of our world on a small scale, tells the story of the fragility of life, and reminds us of our interdependence with the living world as a whole.
