The Swan

A very special solo performance by C茅line Gittens, Principal Dancer at Birmingham Royal Ballet. This 鈥済ift鈥, The Swan, specially adapted and introduced by Carlos Acosta, 鈥渋s a dance about life, about hope鈥.

Music is from pianist Jonathan Higgins and cellist Ant贸nio Novais, while Gittens takes centre-stage.

Originally titled The Dying Swan, this poignant piece was choreographed by Mikhail Fokine and set to Camille Saint-Sa毛ns's Le Cygne from Le carnaval des animaux for legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova. The ending has been re-choreographed by Director of Birmingham Royal Ballet, Carlos Acosta, for the company's Home From Home series. It is presented here as part of Culture in Quarantine from 大象传媒 Arts.
