Riding Romance 1 Swan Lake
Riding Romance 1 Swan Lake (2012) is a production by Henriette Pedersen, the choreographer's own version of Swan Lake.
During the 1800s ballets were considered trading goods to be refreshed and resold, something the choreographer Marius Petipa did in 1895 when he reconstructed the badly received Swan Lake from 1877.
Since then many of the best-known choreographers in the world have made their versions of Swan Lake, now also Henriette Pedersen.

At the webpage of Black Box Teater the following, among other things, is written about Riding Romance 1 Swan Lake by Henriette Pedersen:
"Costumes, movement material, dramaturgy, even the music of Tchaikovsky have been subject to reconstruction since 1877. Countless productions have been adjusted to the abilities of the performers and other resources. Swan Lake has been regarded as a romance, a tragedy and a melodrama, with a tragic as well as a happy ending.
To the degree one can talk about anything distinct about Swan Lake, it is that the good Odette dances 'femininely', submissive and falling. The evil Odile dances 'masculinely', erect even without support from a porter. The development has been such that one can refer to Swan Lake as 'a work in progress'.
Henriette Pedersen is a choreographer in the intersection between theatre, dance and visual art, with an expression stretching from the subtle, introvert, to the explosively extrovert – from hysteria to romance. In her new trilogy, Riding Romance, Pedersen will renovate some of the most central works of the Romantic epoch: From Swan Lake via Caspar David Friedrich to Little Red Riding Hood."
Riding Romance 1 Swan Lake by Henriette Pedersen was supported by Arts Council Norway, The Audio Visual Fund and The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (travel grant/performing arts).
