Published on 5.31.25
Ballet Preljocaj's production of Swan Lake at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) in Brisbane is a thought-provoking commentary on the pressing issue of climate change. Creator Angelin Preljocaj's vision for the ballet is to use art as a platform to address humanity's problems, rather than solely focusing on aesthetics.
The production incorporates environmental themes, using dance as a means of conveying the urgency of climate change. In line with Preljocaj's artistic vision, Swan Lake sparks important conversations and raises awareness about critical issues affecting our world.
The success of QPAC's International Series demonstrates the potential for arts events to have a lasting impact on local economies while also providing a platform for artists to address pressing global concerns related to climate change.
