I watched it last Dec. in Paris with my team workers. I expected to watch a funny gay swan lake show, as we wanted to learn something for our stupid trick in our department's Xmas party. But it turned out to be a quite brilliant show. Great ballet and of course wonderful music. I don't know how our gay friends appreciate this show, but it's definitely a nice piece of art in any means.
Here is the plot excerpt:
"Swan Lake" opens with The Young Prince (Andrew Walkinshaw) tossing and turning in his very large bed, agitated by nightmares. Above him appears a figure from his imagination, a powerful swan. The figure disappears and his mother The Queen (Isabel Mortimer) enters his room to console him; however, when he reaches out to her (a gesture repeated throughout the piece), she turns away from him unable to give him the love and attention and acceptance that he needs. In the remainder of the first act, we see The Young Prince and The Prince now grown (Ben Wright) attempting to adjust to being part of a Royal Family. He is paraded around by his mother, they both wave a lot (as Royals do), smile a lot (as Royals must), cut ribbons and launch new ships. But all of this activity does not satisfy the Prince's need for love. This is a Prince struggling with issues of separation and individuation, sexual identity, and self realization. His Private Secretary (Barry Atkinson) continuously tries to set him up with a girlfriend (Emily Piercy). The Queen does not approve of this commoner (sound familiar) and The Prince becomes more frustrated in his ability to find a significant relationship and determines to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake in the park on the grounds of the palace.
His attempt is subverted by The Swan (Will Kemp) who emerges from the water. The Prince recognizes The Swan from his dreams and is instantly attracted to him. The Swan is joined by other swans who seem to threaten The Prince. The Swan controls them and protects The prince, becoming his soul mate and his reason to live. This scene is brilliant. The choreography and direction are perfect. The acting and the dancing throughout are exceptional. More importantly, the Swan's embrace of The Prince is the moment he recognizes who he is and what kind of love he wants and needs. He is able to accept that he is gay and finds a peace that he has never known before.
In the second act, despite the growth he has experienced, the Prince falls into deeper despair, particularly when, at a dance, he recognizes an intruder to look just like his Swan. The events which follow result not in life, but in the accidental death of the Girlfriend. The Prince is subjected to shock therapy and psychotropic drugs. Alone in his bed, he is visited by the swans who quickly disappear. The Prince's Swan emerges from the bed and in a tender and beautiful fashion, invites The Prince onto the bed. The other swans re-enter and kill The Swan. The Prince, alone, dies of complete despair. His mother enters to discover her dead son and for the first time expresses emotion, even love for him. Above the bed appears The Swan with the Young Prince cradled in his wings.
