World Première

The Swans Never Die project invites the audience and the artists to think of The Dying Swan, a solo that is considered a milestone in twentieth-century dance history, as an opportunity to explore the diverse transformations that the dance went through since it was first choreographed by Fokine for Anna Pavlova in 1905.
The partner institutions of the project propose a joint programme (live and online) and invites to discover the multiple possibilities of re-tracing a timeless choreographic work through its contemporary re-interpretations. Following the journey between the history and memory of dance, the audience will be able to discover in what kind of bodies a choreographic work from the past survives, who collects its legacy and why, and which values this choreographic work could transmit today and in the future.
