After Snow White and Romeo and Juliet, Angelin Preljocaj returns to the stage with a modern version of the classical ballet Swan Lake. Combining, as he likes to do, the classic with the modern, yet without betraying the original version, he transfers the story of the Princess to modern-day society, placing it at the very centre of the issues that afflict it. At the edge of a lake, Rothbart wants to exploit a fossil energy deposit. A young girl, Odette, obstructs his plans, and he transforms her into a swan. Elsewhere, during a party, Siegfried clashes with his father who wants to join forces with Rothbart to build a factory on the shores of Swan Lake.
