The original concept of the piece is that the Swan has been wounded and is painfully fighting against dea

"The Dying Swan" is a famous short ballet choreographed by Mikhail Fokine to the music of Saint-Saens in 1905 for the great Anna Pavlova. Mlle. Pavlova was inspired to ask Fokine to create this piece by Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Dying Swan" and from the swans seen in the public parks.
The original concept of the piece is that the Swan has been wounded and is painfully fighting against death, but in the end, she loses her battle and dies. The great Maya Plisetskaya famously presented the Swan as elderly and stubborn and dying of old age, rather than dying from a wound when she danced the piece at the age of 61.
This variation became Mlle. Pavlova's signature ballet, but today, what it is performed as "The Dying Swan" is miles away from what Fokine actually choreographed.
In the words of Fokine's granddaughter, Isabelle:
"The Dying Swan does not make enormous technical demands, but rather enormous artistic ones because every movement and every gesture should signify a different experience, which is emerging from someone who is attempting to escape death."
Today, what we have as "The Dying Swan" is very a "Swan Lake" style piece that strongly resembles the Swan Queen Odette, which is not what Fokine intended.
Isabelle Fokine said in today's version "it looks like Odette at death's door. The ballet in essence is not about the beauty of a ballerina being able to transform herself into a figure of a swan. It is not about a swan, it is about death and the swan is simply a metaphor."
Here we have a comparison between Ulyana Lopatkina's version and Anna Pavlova's version - look at how different these two versions are! As you can see, Pavlova is all about the artistry, while Lopatkina is all about the technique. "The Dying Swan" today has become too technical and does not in any way match Fokine's original creation for one of the greatest ballerinas of all time. Also, Lopatkina's boring dancing and emotionless performance in this clip does not do this piece any kind of justice!
According to legend, when Anna Pavlova was lying on her deathbed, her last words were, "Get my Swan costume ready".
Enjoy! :)

The great English choreographer, Sir Frederick Ashton, saw Anna Pavlova dance in Peru as a child in 1917 and through to her last matinee at Golders Green in 1929.
In this interview, he gives a useful framework for enjoying the footage that exists of this now legendary ballerina.
Ashton admits Pavlova was technically very limited, but then goes on to identify the things that made her, in his view, extraordinary. This encourages us not dismiss the ballerina just through comparison with the technique of the dancers of today. Brilliant technique can be dead.
The choreographer suggsets the dancer had highlights, such as her extraordinary speed. And wonderfully flexible hands, glorious feet and beautiful legs. In performance, she was alive from the top of head to the tips of toes - everything danced expressively, even her eyes. And whatever she was doing, she became that person or idea.
Ashton makes the interesting point that every great ballerina must have an individual approach to her dancing, a personal reaction to classicism. She must enlivened it - not simply execute the steps in the correct way.
Ashton makes the equally interesting point that Pavlova could be a ‘bit over the top’ - that she could exaggerate her own individuality to the point almost of eccentricity. But that, in a sense, made her strongest theatrical personality he had ever seen. For him, she personified dance.
Included in this interview is footage ‘The Dying Swan’, ‘The Fairy Doll’ and 'California Poppy’ .
Enjoy!
