Laugh-out-loud satire meets astonishing pointe work in the gender-bending Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. Revered by dance aficionados as well as those who don’t know a plié from a jeté, the Trocks, as they’re lovingly called, are an all-male troupe that honors ballet classics such as Swan Lake, while also poking fun at every artistic conceit. “Equalizing the space between comedy and serious dancing is a delicate balance, but that’s what makes the Trocks sing,” proving that “parody and virtuosic technique work in glittering tandem” (The New York Times).
“The Trocks may show you how to laugh at ballet, but they also teach you to love it.” (New York Post)
