Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

Take the chill out of winter with the Trocks, the all-male troupe whose brilliant pointe work and hilarious parodying produce paroxysms of giggles and wild applause throughout the world. A highlight of the company’s Joyce season is the New York premiere of an excerpt from the final act of Laurencia, a 1939 piece about a peasant revolution, originally choreographed by Vakhtang Chabukiani. The programs also feature favorites like Paquita and Go For Barocco, and a star turn by prima ballerina Ida Nevasayneva (aka Paul Ghiselin), whose “Dying Swan, with its molting feathers and funky chicken interpolations, may well by now have eclipsed Anna Pavlova’s original.” Chicago Tribune
