Premiere held on December 27th 2011, at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco. Jean-Christophe Maillot presents us with his personal vision of Swan Lake. It is a vast challenge for any choreographer to tackle this legendary piece which is so well-known throughout the world. For this project which has been dear to his heart for ten years, the choreographer wanted to work with the writer Jean Rouaud, 1990 Prix Goncourt winner, to bring a new drama to this pillar of the classic repertoire. Together they have adapted the timeless story of Siegfried and Odette so that this narrative resonates with our own questioning. The visual artist Ernest Pignon-Ernest, a long-time associate of Jean-Christophe Maillot has designed the scenery for this Lac and Philippe Guillotel was responsible for creating the costumes.
