Show One Productions presents the return of world-infamous Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo on January 20 & 21, 2017 at 8pm at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Returning by popular demand following Vancouver’s 2015 sold out smash hit, the sensational evening will see the all-male, cross-dressing troupe apply breathtaking technical prowess and rampant sauciness to a new batch of ridiculously re-interpreted classical ballets, including Swan Lake, La Esmeralda, and Don Quixote.
“It was a thrill to re-introduce Vancouver to these superb dancers and comic geniuses back in 2015,” said Svetlana Dvoretsky, President & Executive Producer of Show One Productions. “That The Trocks could sell out houses after a more than 30-year absence was a testament to the international cult following the company has built around their affectionately irreverent interpretations of classical dance. I am over the moon excited they will make their anticipated return to Vancouver in 2017, presenting a fresh program replete with their signature theatrics and extraordinary virtuosity. It will undoubtedly be a night at the ballet audiences will not soon forget!”
Founded by a group of professional dancers in 1974, the New-York based company is dedicated to presenting saucily skewered, lovingly crafted parodies of the beloved ballet classics. Since its first performances, the company was recognized and lauded by audiences and esteemed critics alike, including The New Yorker, New York Times, The Guardian, and Village Voice, and began a grand tradition of international touring shortly thereafter.
Today, Les Trocks have performed in more than 30 countries and 500 cities worldwide, including Amsterdam, Auckland, Barcelona, Beijing, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, London, Moscow (at the famed Bolshoi Theater), Paris (at the Chatelet Theater), Rome, Sydney, Tokyo, and Vienna.
