Swan Lake (6+)

Choreographer Stijn Celis created a contemporary adaptation for the entire family of Swan Lake. After the successful tour three years ago, Introdans brings this world-famous and beloved classic back to the stage - in a sparkling, contemporary version for young and old. The dance language is powerful and expressive, rich in poetry, grotesque humor, and a generous dose of imagination. 

With his Swan Lake, Belgian choreographer Celis gave the “ballet of all ballets” Swan Lake, which has been performed worldwide for 125 years since its very first staging, a surprisingly fresh, humorous, and innovative twist. Swan Lake is a large-scale and captivating spectacle in which the entire Introdans ensemble shines in an impressive set design, carried by the timeless, majestic, and moving music of Tchaikovsky.

The press about Swan Lake

“This Swan Lake is very lively. The costumes are colorful and festive, the conventions of classical ballet language are humorously undermined, and the movements of the swans are intriguing: more whimsically animal-like than romantically graceful.” - Theaterkrant

“Boxing moves and animal mannerisms: this expressive version of ‘Swan Lake’ is full of cheerful surprises.” - de Volkskrant

“The new modern version of Swan Lake at Introdans looks youthful and fresh.”  - Theaterparadijs
