TCHAIKOVSKY
MEETS STREET DANCE
There are no sorcery or supernatural events in
Fredrik Rydman´s interpretation of this Tchaikovsky classic.
It is set in the present and Rothbart uses drugs to gain and
keep control over his surroundings. The swans in Rydman’s
production are prostitutes in white furs and high-heeled
shiny hooker boot´s, all completely dependent on Rothbart’s
protection and the heroine he supplies them with.
In the struggle between good and evil the desire for drugs
and love plays a central role. Can true love break the “spell”
just like in the original? How does the story end this time?
In this production Rydman not only uses the music of
Tchaikovsky but also special composed work of a host of
Swedish and international pop and rock writers.
The show opened in Stockholm dec 2011 and has been
on tour since February 2013. So far sold out seasons in
Stockholm, Essen, Berlin, Vienna, Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich,
Gothenburg, Hamburg, Paris, Geneva, Linz, Milano, Moscow
and London.
