Swan Lake - Chinese Acrobatic Ballet (Black Swan)

[MrKLT1945]

Wonderful acrobatics, contortionistc tricks, faith in your partner and balance. No ballet in this production as it is circus at its absolute best. Notice she can hardly walk in her shoes as they are so reinforced to hold her up, and the swans can't even run on in time and with the same lead leg. At least they have finally stopped marketing this (not a new production, they tour it as often as possible) as proper ballet, which it is not BUT still very special in its own right.
