Summary:

Fabulous, funny and always outrageous, the Trocks dance the fine line between high art and high camp. An audience favorite around the world, these hilarious all-male “ballerinas” present loving parodies of classical ballet with impeccable comic timing and to-die-for technical skills. With hairy-chested men en pointe and in tights, tutus and plus-size toe shoes, the Trocks take the art form’s conventions to the limits of absurdity, combing excruciatingly funny slapstick with a genuine respect for classical ballet. Channeling an old-style Russian Ballet company, full of stroppy ballerinas, runaway egos, and diva glamour, they send up the classics from Giselle to Swan Lake.
