Geliefde klassieker in modern jasje voor de hele familie.

Choreographer Stijn Celis presents a contemporary adaptation of Swan Lake for audiences of all ages. Following a successful tour, Introdans returns with this renewed version of the iconic ballet, bringing fresh energy to a well-known story.

Expressive and imaginative dance

The choreography combines powerful movement with poetic imagery, grotesque humor and a strong sense of theatricality. Celis blends classical elements with a contemporary dance language, creating a performance that is both accessible and distinctive.

A large-scale visual spectacle

Performed by the full Introdans ensemble, Swan Lake unfolds in an impressive stage setting, accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s timeless score. The production balances intimacy and grandeur, offering a rich and layered experience for a wide audience.

A reinterpretation of a classic in which tradition and innovation come together.

The press about Swan Lake 
“This Swan Lake is very lively. The costumes are colorful and festive, the conventions of classical ballet language are humorously undermined, and the movements of the swans are intriguing: more whimsically animal-like than romantically graceful.” - Theaterkrant 
 
“Boxing moves and animal mannerisms: this expressive version of ‘Swan Lake’ is full of cheerful surprises.” - de Volkskrant 
 
“The new modern version of Swan Lake at Introdans looks youthful and fresh.”  - Theaterparadijs 
 
Swan Lake Experium

 In this adaptation of Swan Lake, the choreographer emphasizes the tense relationship between Prince Siegfried and his domineering mother, the Queen, as well as Siegfried’s desire to escape the “claws” of the monarchy. Themes such as the awakening of the senses and the search for one’s own path are central. For that very reason, this production also resonates strongly with younger audiences. 
 

“Swan Lake was not originally made for children, but it is very suitable for them. The production is stimulating and theatrical, featuring all kinds of technical highlights such as an inflatable set and a fold-out airplane staircase, while the story remains very easy to follow. As a viewer, you embark on a fascinating journey that never leaves you bored for a single moment.”Roel Voorintholt.
