Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

Paquita (choreography after Petipa: music by Minkus)

For lovers of live performance, there is a deeply satisfying combination of delights that the Trocks deliver better than almost anyone else: exquisite technique and elegant styling, deftly delivered with a hilarious punchline. Celebrating its landmark 50th anniversary season, the all-male drag ballet company is adored for affectionately skewering the old warhorses of classical dance and inviting audiences to rediscover both obscure and beloved scenes from classic repertoire. The Trocks were groundbreaking at their founding in 1974, and their irreverent, deeply informed romps through the glories and excesses of the dance world continue to offer laughs for aficionados and novices alike. “This is a company that brings its audiences pure joy” (The Seattle Times).

Leadership support for LGBTQ+ programming at Cal Performances is provided by Michael P. N. A. Hormel.

Run time for this performance is approximately 2 hours including two intermissions.
