Embark on a groundbreaking journey through love, war, and transformation as former Joffrey Ballet member, James Wolburg, and choreographer, Alonso Vásquez, present a modern reimagining of the classic Swan Lake, featuring an all-male cast, and celebrating LGBTQ+ themes. With Wolburg’s dual role as director and lead performer, alongside Vásquez’s visionary choreography, audiences are invited to witness a mesmerizing fusion of traditional elegance and contemporary storytelling, woven with themes of love, identity, and acceptance.

Review by Crist P. Thomas:
“To all of my friends in Vallarta that see this post.

Trust me on this.
You must…MUST see “The Swan Lake” at Act2PV Theater.
I could use every superlative available and still not describe the glory of this ballet that I witnessed tonight on its triumphant and noble sold out opening night.

I guarantee you will not see anything like it in Vallarta this season. And you are cheating yourself twice if you choose to not see it. Once for not witnessing the majesty of this work of art in person and again for depriving yourself of not being able to recall from your memory the satisfaction of seeing and hearing this monumental classic.

It’s pure magic.”
