DANCE: The Trocks

The Trocks, the group of male dancers who skillfully and delightfully blend classical ballet, comedy, and drag show elements, are returning to Athens to celebrate fifty years of a unique career. Officially known as Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, but popularly called the Trocks, the troupe was born in New York in 1974, formed by dancers who had performed as soloists in major ballet companies worldwide. We have four unique opportunities to experience this at the Pallas Theatre (October 2-5), where the masterful dancers promise to deliver a spectacular, hilarious, and subversive performance. The show pays homage to the tradition of classical ballet while simultaneously deconstructing its seriousness.
