Matthew Bourne Swan Lake. Addam Cooper (Billy Elliot final Scene)
Disappointed that he will never find affection, the Prince contemplates suicide in Act Two, but is saved by the sight of beautiful swans on the lake of a public park. This Act is the most direct rendering from the original plot of Swan Lake, but it contains the most talked-about dancing of the ballet due to stylistic changes. Male dancers portray the swans as aggressive and arrogant animals rather than the delicate, sentimentalized swans traditionally portrayed by ballerinas. The traditional white tutus and tiaras are also discarded, to be replaced with bare chests, feathered knee-length trousers, and bold, black facial markings. Initially rejected by the lead Swan, the Prince is eventually taken into his loving embrace. This is what the Prince has always desired, and the Act ends in triumphant happiness. The swans then fly away. It is not entirely clear whether the Prince has in fact interacted with the swans, or if they are figments of his imagination.
I am not sure if Tchaikovsky would be ashamed or not. I don't care I think of composers and writers before I think of beauty of the dance.

i love the park scene. Especially the VI. Tempo di valse and VII. Coda: Allegro vivo of the dancing. Even though its after this clip. Love this.
