Swan Lake Remixed for ADE
Classic ballet, hip-hop dance, electronic music and digital art come together.
For the opening of 30 years of ADE, the Dutch National Ballet, ISH Dance Collective, Amsterdam Dance Event and Gashouder bring their worlds together around one of the most iconic ballets ever created. The story of Swan Lake revolves around desire, freedom and the tension between light and darkness. Swan Lake Remixed for ADE brings these themes into the present day. Because questions of identity, freedom and boundaries are more relevant than ever.
Dancers from the Dutch National Ballet and the Junior Company share the stage with performers from ISH and guest dancers from a variety of dance worlds. Together, they bring ballet and urban dance into dialogue, creating a performance in which tradition and innovation reinforce one another.
