Pluck all the tradition from Swan Lake, add techno music and astonishing dance at breakneck speed and you've got Birdbrain, a wry look at a classic from one of the world's most brazen young dance companies. Drawing on ballet, contemporary dance, breakdance, yoga, contortionism and gymnastics, it blends soundscapes, surreal video art and virtuoso performance. See how they do it down under... definitely more Baz Luhrmann then Tchaikovsky. Australian Dance Theatre website.
