La Mort du Cygne

Choreography Thierry Malandain
Music Camille Saint Saens
Costumes Jorge Gallardo
Lighting Jean-Claude Asquie
Ballet for 3 dancers

A moment of pure dance, this monolog also evokes the power and grace of a bird charged with many symbols such as light. Three swans, three women come form the sky, land on the earth to give up their last breath before reincarnating into a new flight.

Thierry Malandain, director of Ballet Biarritz, has just created a piece for the Paris Opera Ballet. This is his eighth ballet to enter Ballet Junior's repertoire.
