Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo at The Lowry

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

The fabulous, award-winning, scene-stealing Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (or ‘The Trocks’ to their friends), return… in size 12 pointe shoes.

Hurtling through the classical ballet repertoire with their inimitable blend of skill, grace and a wit as sharp as scissors en pointe, The Trocks have been a global phenomenon since they formed in New York in 1974.

Dancers present two programmes which effortlessly display their startling technical prowess and their no-less extraordinary make-up skills.

As the darlings of the ballet world, The Trocks combine a genuine love of ballet with parody and preening in their laugh-a-minute shows that will delight both The Trocks initiated and ballet novices.

“One of the funniest evenings you’ll ever spend in the theatre” Time Out

“A hoot. The Trocks aren’t simply a bunch of guys with pins to burst the ballet bubble. They are also serious dancers” The Guardian

“I still laugh till I cry” Independent on Sunday

“Terrific entertainment. Ballet fans will adore it, but so will complete novices” Daily Telegraph
