Bernardo San Rafael, dances with Swans to classical music.
San Rafael has been stepping into Lake Zurich several times a week since October 2020 during the cold winter months to dance with swans to classical music.
After the outbreak of the pandemic, almost the entire art and dance industry came to a standstill.
Thus, dance performance artist Bernardo San Rafael was caught cold and robbed of his vocation and creative outlet.
What began as winter swimming to cope with the pandemic’s negative impact on San Rafael’s life, evolved into an artful and respectful exchange between animal and man.
