Swan Lake by Matthew Bourne, second act pas de deux

This is a contemporary dance version of the classic swan lake with a gay reinterpretation that tries to more clearly highlight the themes of forbidden love and fear about entrapment in an unwanted role, present the original play, subtly put there by the homosexual men who helped create it at the time. This is a darker version set in a more modern time that includes more psychological horror elements and less fantasy (also the swans are hot what can I say)

I highly recommend people watch the original version with Adam Cooper, it's the best one out there by far

IT WAS COPPELIA'S 1ST ACT SWANILDA VARIATION

Something's driving me insane, yesterday I heard the music of a variation and my dad (a classical musician) wanted to know where it was from and I could tell him everything about the music, that it was ballet, that it was a feminine solo, that it went with a short tutu, I could even tell him what the choreography looked like, but NOT where it was from and now I've been looking for it for a whole day and I can't find the little bitch

If anyone's interested i have it in a google drive file because it took me forever to find it and I want others to watch it, it's a wonderful and terrifying interpretation I love it so much!

I didn't think I would be learning 24 years after it's release that the end of Billy Elliot is a sort of homage to a queer version of Swan Lake. Adam Cooper's little cameo always makes me cry along with Jackie's little gasp, but now it's even more beautiful

La Bayadere, Act 2, kingdom of the shades

Gotta love seeing a selfish man getting the divine punishment of being tortured into madness by the unending visage of the woman he killed after swearing eternal love to her before the gods. Suffer boy!
