Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo Returning to Joyce Theater, Begin. 12/16

The Joyce Theater Foundation will welcome back the riotously hilarious and beautifully brilliant Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo for its biennial three-week NYC holiday engagement, this year from December 16, 2014 - January 6, 2015. The season will feature two different programs including some of the troupe's most popular works, plus the New York premiere of excerpts from La Naïade et Le Pêcheur, based on the original staging by Pyotr Gusev. Tickets range in price from $10-$59 ($26-$44 for Joyce Theater members), and can be purchased through JoyceCharge at 212-242-0800 or via the internet at www.joyce.org. The Joyce Theater is located at 175 Eighth Avenue at 19th Street.

The internationally adored Trocks, the all-male troupe who risk comfort for astonishing pointe work, flawlessly blend tribute with raucous send-up as they tread lightly through the vast classics of ballet. For its 40th anniversary year, the Company will bring down the house (and, at the same time, likely raise the roof) with two programs including the New York premiere of excerpts from the delightful La Naïade et Le Pêcheur, revived by The Trocks more than 170 years after its 1843 world premiere in London. Also on tap will be some of the Company's most beloved productions, such as Go For Barocco, ChopEniana, Don Quixote and Swan Lake, as well as Patterns in Space, a wonderful parody featuring choreography after Merce Cunningham. See these works, and more, performed by the primo ballerinas that have made this beloved troupe the foremost all-male comic ballet company in the world.

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo will perform a three-week season at The Joyce Theater from December 16, 2014 - January 4, 2015. Dance Chat, a free post-performance talkback with members of the Company, will take place on Wednesday, December 17 and is open to all patrons attending that evening's performance. Tickets are $10-$59 ($26-$44 for Joyce members) and can be arranged by calling JoyceCharge at 212-242-0800 or online at www.joyce.org. Please note: ticket prices are subject to change. The Joyce Theater is located at 175 Eighth Avenue at 19th Street. For more info, please visit www.Joyce.org.
