What does it remain today of a choreographic work that is considered a milestone in the history of Western dance at the beginning of the 20th century? In what forms has it survived over time? Who will take up its legacy?
The project Swans Never Die invites audiences and artists to think about The Dying Swan as an opportunity to learn about the many forms of its existence over time, since it was choreographed by Michel Fokine for Anna Pavlova in 1905.
Following the stages of this journey through the history and memory of dance, the spectator will be able to discover the bodies in which a choreographic work from the past survives, who takes up its legacy and the values it can transmit today and in the future.
The evening Swans_1 includes new creations by Chiara Bersani, Philippe Kratz e Silvia Gribaudi.
The performance will be followed by a talk hosted by the journalist Greta Pieropan.
