Quorum Dance Company brings Swan Lake into the realm of contemporary dance, taking one of the most recognisable titles in the choreographic repertoire as its starting point. Tchaikovsky’s music and the memory of classical ballet become the material for a reinterpretation shaped through a contemporary movement vocabulary.
For Daniel Cardoso, engaging with tradition means rereading a stage work through the body and sensibility of the present, rather than reproducing an existing model. The performance thus builds a bridge between the memory of a landmark of European choreographic culture and the expressive freedom of contemporary dance.
