Description
Classification
The dark and ugly sister to the movie Black Swan. A chain-smoking, half-swan, half-ballerina turns the tragic story of Swan Lake into a dark and raunchy rom-com. And who knows…You may even get to open her box. Could you be the hero that helps her escape this living hell?!
A raunchy parody of Swan Lake, SWAN?, a darkly funny and perfectly en pointe takedown of the patriarchy and perceived self-worth, is a genre-defying one-person show that has a fusion of ballet, clown, bouffon and song, which challenges audiences to consider just how much you’d change yourself for a romantic partner.
an exquisitely crafted show that perfectly plays with the audience on every level ★★★★★
