ABOUT THE SHOW

The dark and ugly sister to the movie Black Swan. A chain-smoking, half-swan, half-ballerina turns the tragic story of Swan Lake into a dark and raunchy rom-com. And who knows...You may even get to open her box. Could you be the hero that helps her escape this living hell?!

A raunchy parody of Swan Lake, “SWAN?” a darkly funny and perfectly en pointe takedown of the patriarchy and perceived self-worth, this genre-defying one-person show has a fusion of ballet, clown, bouffon and song, which challenges audiences to consider just how much you’d change yourself for a romantic partner.
