Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

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).
