Swan Lake is perhaps the most successful ballets of Rudolf Nureyev in his pursuit of the revaluation of the male dancing, with highlighting the role of Siegfried, suggested in the literary narrative, but which failed was not embodied in the choreography of an era where everything revolved around the prima ballerina. To serve
about it, Rudolf Nureyev gave the beginning to the end the prince a strong partner in the person of Wolfgang / Rothbart, a true master of ceremonies of the ballet that makes appearances Odette anecdotal. Is the richness of this relationship that fuels the narrative of ballet.
it a dream or not, since the ballet opens with the prince asleep, everything suggests that Siegfried recognizes the kidnapper Wolfgang Odette, his tutor who comes to wake him. How will he manage that information and what effect it will generate over the course of history?

In his palace on the eve of his majority, Siegfried realizes his destiny-power and creation of a dynasty-not interested. The story of Swan Lake
in the version of Rudolf Nureyev is to illustrate the causes of this finding, his escape from reality and the development implications of his positions.
Facing the melancholy prince to repressed desires, the multifaceted face of the "other possible" dream and
dark fantasy is embodied by Wolfgang Rothbart, serious teacher in the first act or powerful lord in the third, that night, haunts the nearby lake in the shape of a bird. Siegfried, the prince fatum tragic, not only reads the light his relationship to his alter ego on stage, the mysterious Wolfgang proves each act a facet of his personality.
Un certain regard

| Christophe Duquenne (Siegfried) |
Siegfried is the source of this history and its relationship with Wolfgang, his tutor are the key that enters the dramatic ballet. If one is Karl Paquette, there really is so dreamy and Stéphane Bullion, its magnetic tutor lighter, it falls in love. Why then claim that court life which can not satisfy his choice? If it is the remote Wolfgang Stéphane Phavorin, we remain in a state of hesitation that runs through the ballet, plunged in between two of the dream never take a stand. When Christopher
Duquenne Siegfried seizes, it becomes blue flower and plunges into a romance where absolute believe that anything is possible, therefore, that his tutor Yann Saiz solve the equation sad love impossible in these times and these places. By indulging without restraint, he plunged into melancholy which seems therefore to announce a series of events black.
face of romantic and fragile to manipulate, princes strong policies to give the appearance ballet. This is not so much attracted to her but Wolfgang shelved who led the prince away while the label prevents him from speaking more clearly. The slow variation reveals the highly emotional questions and be evil Siegfried and opens the ballet on the poetry of the lake. After the curtain reverie, hunting allows the prince to escape effectively.

If you are Jose Martinez, we will confront the conspiracy in which the head of s'ourdit Wolfgang Stéphane Bullion for him bite his way to the Court and with the queen, whereas if the 'independent Stéphane Bullion suffered bullying guidelines and Karl Paquette, he looks for derivatives that pressure, finding the lake a communion with nature to escape the constraints of the prince's life that he refuses to be.
The ideal getaway

On the lake, resting almost reached the form of idealization and movements of swans are majestic and free, odalisques figures. But this is only surface water ballet and night is also the imprint of an evil genius.

| Stéphane Bullion (Siegfried) |
On the lake, therefore reign of a night owl who terrorizes the herd of swans which princess Odette, no compromise ideal woman is a delicate sovereign. Siegfried recognizes there he caught the woman in his dream and what are the reasons that led him to unite her destiny with the unfortunate captive? Emilie Cozette
walking on the lake with its detached telling her princes met at a hunting impromptu detour she could regain his wife if they swore eternal love, but why bother? Surrounded by her girlfriends, she is no more at ease in a world that his interlocutors Stéphane Bullion, Jose Martinez, Karl Paquette seem to refuse? In this strange world, meeting with the prince is not fusion, and if she sees Siegfried an opportunity to escape, she is not recovering entirely to him, acknowledging
power and domination of the bird, which ultimately drives the prince.

For Laetitia Pujol, in addition to the inevitability of the curse that any It is as if she never meets princes. She exudes the tragedy at every step from its first appearance, it is about him, minus the ballet.
Ulyana Lopatkina is fatalistic and even if it is a charm to Jose Martinez, no doubt she likes best maximize its condition of narcissistic swan exploring the sinuosity of his movements slow and precise. It remains closed to dialogue as the condition for its strangeness also above her peers.

the kingdom of the fatal act

| Stéphane Bullion (Siegfried) |
At the palace, princes and still undecided docile little fun only when they attend, with entertainment in their honor.
They still dream to open up to the unreal life of another, sometimes embodied by Odette, they were able to glimpse before. The most direct concealed boredom by seeking a way out, participating in the festivities politely while thinking about the most effective way to tell their mother they will not marry the princess proposed. It is also singularly full explanation emerges accompanied by Rothbart and Odile. What
sees Siegfried Wolfgang Odile in the guise of noble Rothbart offers them as a companion? Is it a simple mistake that turns tragic sincere? A league with a tutor transformed? A rejection of parental authority, a kind of affirmation assumed their majority? Symbolic suicide? A distrust of self? Coverage for their love in the lies of the royal decorum?

| Stéphane Bullion (Siegfried) - Emilie Cozette (Odile) |
Odile is the ingenue of the ballet. Emilie Cozette uses the strengths of its charm player to play fifteen minutes with obvious pleasure and without any malice. Very complicit with Rothbart, she instills tactfully brands of seduction.

more reserved and less mobile, Ulyana Lopatkina seeks to test whether it can give a version of its polarized Odette, who then deceived effortlessly poor Siegfried Jose Martinez, a little sinking at this point in the ballet. Agnes Letestu, the devastating charm, makes her Odile a sharp point in the heart of even his Siegfried. If Ludmila Pagliero seems to have played in the characterization of Odile, it is preferred to Laetitia Pujol a little bitch caricature too, must have been well Rothbart bullied by dad, whether it frankly gay Benjamin Pech or more ambiguous Yann Saiz and Stephane Phavorin. She then reveals Siegfried default or frankly stupid, or really seizing the weapon of suicide in both hands, which did not need it not to exist.
But what are the drawings of Wolfgang / Black Bird is presenting Rothbart? Why he hid his daughter Odile to Siegfried? Why then it seems to happen to his goal, he condemns by removing the prince who was substituted Odile Odette well?
If you are Stéphane Bullion, tutor titanic, we still want the fun titillating sexual emotions Karl Paquette, showing him well Odile is frankly a woman while his attractive power appears . If we played the first act shifty, the goal is clearly to gain power by liquidating in any manner whatsoever Jose Martinez, using a very Ulyana Lopatkina voluntary or Emilie Cozette, very playful, the perfect accomplices of his plan. The
Rothbart Karl Paquette part of the mystery of his Wolfgang presence almost invisible yet weighty and incisive when key not three.
Yann Saiz is the water that sleeps better drown in a wave of her little princes dominated Odile, Christophe Duquenne still bewildered, frightened Mathias Heymann. Wolfgang Benjamin Pech in, so desire that seemed to avenge Siegfried, both of the female population on the lake and its disappointed love in a third act very violent and resentful.
Lake

While tragedy is at its height, that Siegfried is dead ashamed of having unintentionally condemned Odette in his personal mistakes and the Stations of the Cross is not over, his first adult lesson is to manage the consequences of his actions. We must return to the lake, Odette and review to be forgiven, his engulfed in sorrow when all else fails or be realized in the ultimate escape, ultimate solution to the problems suggested in the first act.
One moment, a life on the lake seems the solution and Siegfried tries again communion with Odette, but if it forgive him, bird watch.
Lake becomes the true hero of the ballet, the swans spread their melancholy, heavy wings, suffering the fate, then Odette and distinguished by the betrayal and dashed hopes, panics.

| Siegfried, one last time, seems to be united his future, but it is more to life but to death. If she forgives Siegfried, she accepted the Fate that leads one way or another, driven by Siegfried symbolically or concretely by the black bird, to an inevitable death.

Siegfried entered the events that took place these last few hours, arrived at the end of his reflections. His transition to adulthood has failed and his destiny as a prince cursed leads to death as he proposes that reality Rothbart and Odette in her terrible resolution to have the last word. Lake takes over the minds and swallowed Siegfried while the black bird takes Odette. Rothbart
protean defeated. Love revenge or conspirator in a good position to succeed, it requires at least its power over the lake.
