What does Swan Lake inspire in contemporary choreographers? Three of the world’s dance superstars boldly tackle this iconic romantic ballet for the 16 dancers of Gauthier Dance.

Choreographer and artistic director Éric Gauthier has given a trio of his favourite choreographers free rein to create their own version of the legendary ballet. Cayetano Soto, Marie Chouinard and Hofesh Shechter appropriate Swan Lake, shaking it up and subverting its beauty in original ways, in three daring approaches that are respectively mysterious, radical and explosive. Each choreographer has left their distinctive stamp on their vision of the work, set to music of their choice by Peter Gregson, Louis Dufort and Hofesh Shechter, more or less inspired by Tchaikovsky’s famous score. An evening of shocks and contrasts —no gauzy tutus and romantic moonlight here!

    Hofesh Shechter

    The explosiveness of Hofesh Shechter’s pieces on stage, works of pulsating rhythms in which angry young men take to the barricades, has gained him a rock star reputation among choreographers. His work evokes a harsh wind blowing from the street through the theater. His wild, raw dance exerts a very direct effect on the audience. Shechter shows us aggression and loss of control, dictators and the oppressed, chaos on the st...
