@ricerquerc I'll go out on a limb despite my complete lack of knowledge in ballet and assume that there's no particular association with homosexuality in having an all-male cast.
I guess if you look at the history of scenic arts, female roles were or are (Noh theater?) played by male performers (for religious/moral, cultural reasons or just tradition I guess).
I know right?! The power and majesty of that leap Billy does onto the stage, knowing that his famiy was watching gave me chills and tears. One of the best cinema moment in years. My heart soared.
Seen this Matthew Bourne Production 3 times. Adam Cooper and the male swans were absolutely fabulous! I could also never see another version. This beats the lot. I've got it on DVD and watch it when I feel a bit down. Great stuff!
Adam Cooper is such an amazing dancer! His performance as the swan is captivating, strong and beautiful... not to mention he is freakin' HOT as hell!! xD
Well, what do you think? I thought it was obvious. Of course, in this version the role of Odette is simply called "The Swan". For more details, see "Swan Lake (Bourne)" from Wikipedia.
I have loved Swan Lake since early teenage, and when I saw this version in the Finnish television, I just had to buy the VHS (which now is worn to useless), and I went to see the live performance in Amsterdam where they were visiting (unfortunately without Adam Cooper), and recently I bought it as a DVD.
Nonostante non mi intenda ssolutamente di danza, sono rimasta affascinata da questo balletto, già dalla prima volta che lo vidi nel finale di Billy Elliot.
Adam Cooper riesce ad interpretare il suo ruolo in un modo meraviglioso...basti pensare alla delicatezza dei suoi movimenti quando è cigno e all'aggressività e alla sensualità quando invece interpreta il figlio del Segretario (mi sembra) della Regina! Superbo, non c'è che dire! +++++
I am awed. This level of performance is not something you can intend to deliver. Lucky we got this bird caught on tape. Adam Cooper should deserve much better career outlook, this is so frustrating, I wish I had some business connections in that area...
Vos sí que no tenés una pizca de arte. Bah, no sé qué concepto tendrás en tu imaginario de arte. Si no sos un artista que ha desarrollado su intelecto y capacidad técnico-expresiva, entiendo tu postura. De lo contrario, te diría: Abre Tu Mente.
Maricones de miercoles que risa, hahahahaha sobre todo el que degrades la lengua española con tu frase, si fueras crtico de arte, nunca hubiera picasso salido.
I believe you don't have artistic & imagination cells at all. It is not a "gay" approach. The swan is a creature. It does not matter if it is a female or male dancer.
I like to move your body.............
