About
Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo | March 2, 2019 at 8pm
Co-Presented with MASS MoCA
Hailed as the world’s foremost all-male comic ballet company, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo “skews the classics with old-world glamour” (The New York Times). After getting their start in the 1970’s at late-late shows in off-off Broadway lofts, the Trocks now celebrate their 44th season as one of the most popular and critically recognized dance companies in the world.
Performing both en pointe and en travesti, the drag-clad Trocks exaggerate the foibles and accidents of serious dance, creating a hilarious and unforgettable parody of favorite ballet classics. The Trocks will perform crowd-favorites Swan Lake, Trovatiara pas de cinq, Dying Swan, and Raymonda’s Wedding, among others.
