Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, the world’s foremost all-male comic ballet company, brings its internationally beloved troupe of dancers to the Arsht Center as part of its landmark 50th anniversary season, featuring gems from across the company’s groundbreaking repertoire.
Founded in New York City in 1974, the company, affectionately known as the Trocks, has grown from its roots in late-late shows in off-off-Broadway lofts to a global touring sensation. The company dances en travesti with razor-sharp wit and breathtaking pointe work, performing polished parodies of works that span the classical ballet canon.
Did You Know?
Each artist in the Trocks portrays two personas (one female and one male), who dance the roles in each performance. Any given performance may have up to 60 named characters, as well as fairies, wilis and swans.
“The amalgam of ballerina finesse and daft diva antics is brilliant, unsettling, riveting: the epitome of Trocks style.” — Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times
