Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo brings its internationally beloved troupe of male dancers to McCarter to perform a brilliant combination of skillful pointe work and hilarious parodying of classical ballet favorites like Swan Lake.  Founded in New York City in 1974, the company, affectionately known as the Trocks, began by appearing in late-late shows in off-off Broadway lofts for small audiences who appreciated the iconoclastic humor of it all.   

 

Since then, the Trocks have pirouetted their way onto the world stage with their playful blend of dance knowledge, comedy, and athleticism. Whether you’re a die-hard dance lover or first-time balletgoer, their mix of artistry and absurdity will leave you in awe.  The Trocks are “a guaranteed hoot for people who know nothing of ballet and an absolute must for those who think they know the originals.” - Sydney Star Observer
