Swan Lake City | A Dance Performance by Gabriela Anifantaki

 
Could it be possible that the beauty of nature might lead to completeness?
 
And here we are… as the beauty of the swans overflows… The parade in the water begins…
It is the carefree abandon of the swans in the lake that the Sorcerer has come to interrupt, wielding his powers in order to entrap their princess. Weakened and enslaved to him, they follow the sorcerer into the town, as if hypnotized… Then, suddenly, the hunter prince appears and the swans, realizing he is harmless,  gain courage and slowly begin to reclaim their home. The prince is overwhelmed by their beauty, singling out one among them in particular. The magic of love sweeps him up and abandons him to the carefree games of the swans.
 
Evil, however, is still lurking… the Sorcerer tries every trick to get rid of the prince, who is protected by his faithful friend. In the meantime, the most trusted swans of the princess, as soon as they realize what is going on, begin to spy upon the sorcerer. He, however, continues with his deadly plan and turns into a black female swan in an attempt to woo the prince. The prince’s faithful friend manages, however, to uncover the magician’s plot. The swans and the princess, now returning to the lake, take it upon themselves to confront the sorcerer and bring him down… Here at the lake everything will become demystified, more clear. The princess, having faced the Magician and won will now return to the place where all is free and pure… the lake.
Water on their bodies…Strength in their souls… strength to their princess…
