Culture Break: Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake, Finale

I'm not sure what I think about this, except to note that it's not your standard Swan Lake.


If you're interested in more, here are links to the full ballet, Part I and Part II.

Thanks for sharing this, Robert. It looks like the choreographer was inspired by "Love! Valour! Compassion!" In that movie (and presumably in the Terrence McNally play on which it's based) the men rehearse an all-male "Swan Lake."

Sorry -- somehow missed your comment.

While I don't recall ever seeing this before, somehow it seems familiar. I'm not sure if I like it, though.

And, as always, good to hear from you.
