The prisoner dies - symbolically - he walks into a white light. This refers back to the title - as a swan is supposed to sing its most beautiful song just before it dies.

The last dance that the prisoner does before he walks of into the light or his freedom, he got this from when a mute swan sings the last every song and its a very beautiful song just before it dies , he also did swansong to represent his retirement from dance. Hope this helped :).
Christopher Bruce's influences vary year upon year and you will find that he tends to create works using current events either in the world or in his own life. For example with Swansong(1987) and Ghost Dances (1981) he was influenced by worldly events and for his work Four Scenes (1998) he was inspired by youth and the idea of children playing out life, -could he have been showing a reflective mood in this work?
In the Swansong there is a mix of dance types:- Contemporary- Ballet- Jazz
