@Oukow Something can be both, I agree that this is beatiful, but I can appreciate how it could make people laugh as well.It is exactly what 4 signets playing together looks like, and I think the audience know that this is the attention rather than the pretty, techniqually based more traditional versions.I love the old version, where I am an isanely jelous of the dancers beauty and skill, butI perfer this, maybe because I am moer of an actor and more interested inportrayal than technical skill. x

Maybe I just don't get it but I don't see why people were laughing...I found it beautiful.

And the men-swan version is powerful, like it shows a little bit more of reality. But they both require greatly mastered techniques and perfect timing, so why don't we all call it a tie?

I've read a few comments about ppl liking this or the original version better. I must say something about it: both are wonderful, just as most part of art is (except when it gets offensive on purpose, art is one of the most beautiful things on Earth). The women-swan version is beautiful because it fits a certain time when all is supposed to be graceful (even if it really isn't).

personally I prefer male swans.. I don't know I think they can portray better the mouvements of a swan.. but it's only my opinio. I saw this piece and I absolutely loved it :)

This ballet may not be a parody but this Pas de Quartet is freaking cute and funny
This ballet is not a parody... this is a great peice of choreography where the swans actually behave like swans rather than the orignal version where the swans are portrayed as grace personified. Though it may take some getting used to, this is really not something to laugh at, the movements are amusing, and maybe intentionally so in some places, but for the most part this is just another portrayal of swan behavior. Look up how swans actually move. I love this piece... bourne is so creative!

You know what's really wicked? Those who make bigoted remarks about others' sexuality. Not to mention that this ballet and all the dancers in it are English, so what were you saying again?
