"The all-male comedy ballet troupe from New York has carved a place in the hearts of UK ballet goers with its performances en travesti, offering irrepressible sense of fun, witty observation of the foibles of much loved classics, great comedic timing and remarkable technique."
"Danced to the plaintive strains of Saint-Saëns cello music, this is not the usual ethereal swan gracefully bourreeing towards its end, but rather a cantankerous, arthritic old bird meeting its end with little grace, while moulting profusely."
"Carter appears with his male monicker Yuri Smirnov (all 14 Trocks have both male and female stage names) as the evil sorcerer Von Ro."
Les Ballet Trockadero de Monte Carlo, known as The Trocks, returns to London after four years, celebrating their 50th anniversary with a UK and Ireland tour. The all-male comedy ballet troupe captivates audiences with their performances en travesti, blending humor with impressive dance technique. Highlights include the Dying Swan, performed by Robert Carter as Olga Supphozova, which humorously contrasts traditional ballet with a comedic portrayal of an aging swan. The performance showcases both artistry and clever comedy, making it a memorable experience for ballet enthusiasts.
