A Swan Lake — Semperoper Ballett, Johan Inger

Johan Inger reinterprets Swan Lake through questions of control, freedom and human relationships.

Inger approaches the familiar ballet through manipulation, violence and the freedom to choose how to love. This is a reinterpretation rather than a straightforward reproduction of the classical staging: choose it if you want to compare what changes when the relationships become the central question.
