What is the story of the swansong?

Answer 1

it is about a victim with two interrogators(non gender specific)

the interrogator start by almost interviewing the victim, they do tap sequences to do this, when the victim refuses to answer, then they start humiliating the victim.

when the interrogators leave stage the victim executes a solo based on trying to get free ( the dancers moves across the diagonal line to the light to achieve this).

the dance ends with the victim either dying or being set free, based on your interpretation of the piece.

the interrogation process throughout becomes more vigorous and intense.

Answer 2

The swansong is a metaphorical term referring to a final performance or action before retirement, completion, or death. It originates from the erroneous belief that swans sing a beautiful song before they die, though in reality, swans are silent birds. The idea of a swansong has been popularized in literature, music, and art as a poignant symbol of farewell or conclusion.
