Black Swan
The era we want to evoke coincides with the time of the premiere of Swan Lake. The second half of the 19th century is a period of proliferating mental hospitals, patients ‘possessed’ by animal spirits, and the treatment of mental pathologies by torture and other weird methods. The schizophrenic Odette, a swan queen in her imagination, attending balls and going to and fro in her palace, all the while alternating between her past, present and never-to-be future, and Odile, the other side of her split personality, are confined to such an institution. The girl in black from the free outside world is in fact an incurable patient rebelling against her fate, whom Rothbart is trying to keep sane by the most desperate means. Odette is the end product of his ‘healing’ methods, living in the freedom of her visions and hallucinations at ‘Swan Lake’, instead of the reality of her physical captivity.
We reserve the right to change the programme.
