Claire Parsons’ performance LITTLE SWAN LAKE was created in 2018 and commissioned by The Royal Dramatic Theatre. Instead of the gracious swans we might be expecting from this classical ballet, some other figures appear on stage, ready to spread their wings, dance on a silver lake, and find the right steps for birds in formation. An audience favorite and a critical success, LITTLE SWAN LAKE will tour nationally and internationally in collaboration with The Royal Dramatic Theater 2021–2026.
World premiere November 23, 2018 at The Royal Dramatic Theatre in Sweden.
LITTLE SWAN LAKE was selected to be shown at Bibu on May 17–22, 2022 in Helsinki, within the framework of Young Swedstage. Bibu is the most important meeting place in Sweden for professional performing arts for young audiences.
Tender and sweet mischief with a Tjajkovskij classic.
(Svenska Dagbladet)
…45 minutes of pure movement joy.
(Expressen)
We leave the theatre uplifted and ready to fly off together.
(Dagens Nyheter)
Too good to be true!
(The children’s jury of the Hurraa! – Festival in Helsinki (FI), giving the show ten points out of ten.)
