For almost 50 years, the all-male comedy ballet company Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (affectionately known as “The Trocks”) have been delighting audiences of all ages at sell-out performances featuring their fabulous sense of fun and their flawless dance.
Originally from New York, the Trocks are now loved world-wide for their sassy spoofs and hilarious homages to classical ballet.
Every performance frivolously froths with tutus and testosterone, blush-pink ballet pumps, fierce false eyelashes and prima ballerina attitude. However, what makes this company extraordinarily special is their immaculate technique and daring physicality, surpassed only by their impeccable comic timing.
'This is the funniest night you'll ever have at the ballet'
'The Trocks deliver a kick from a steel toe-cap in a silky pointe shoe'
TOUR PROGRAMME
Swan Lake; Pas de Deux or modern work or solo to be announced; Go For Barocco; Dying Swan; Walpurgisnacht
Swan Lake
Choreography after Lev Ivanovich Ivanov. Music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The Trocks’ version of what is probably the best-known ballet in the world is an elegiac phantasmagoria of variations and ensembles in line and music. Swept up into the magical realm of swans (and birds), it is the company’s signature work.
Pas de Deux or modern work or solo to be announced
Go For Barocco
Choreography by Peter Anastos. Music by JS Bach. Billed as the stylistic heir to Balanchine’s “Middle-Blue-Verging-On-Black-and-White Period,” Go For Barocco has become a primer in identifying stark coolness and choreosymphonic delineation in the new (neo) neo-new classic dance!
Dying Swan
Choreography after Michel Fokine. Music by Camille Saint-Saens. It’s probably no exaggeration to say that the Trocks’ version of Dying Swan, the solo created for Anna Pavlova in 1905, has become as iconic as the original.
Walpurgisnacht
Choreography by Elena Kunikova after Leonid Lavrovsky. Music by Charles Gounod
Inspired by the Bolshoi Ballet’s Valpurgeyeva Noch, the Trocks offer their version of the lavish ballet revelling in its dramatic, supernatural, mythological themes to joyful effect.
