Gunter Theatre at the Peace Center Offers Free Screening of Rebels On Pointe

The Peace Center will present a free screening of the documentary film Rebels on Pointe in the Gunter Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 3, at 5 p.m. The ballet company that is the subject of the film, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, will perform in the Peace Concert Hall on Feb. 16.

Exploring universal themes of identity, dreams and family, Rebels on Pointe is the first-ever documentary film celebrating the world famous Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. The notorious all-male, drag ballet company was founded more than 40 years ago in New York City on the heels of the Stonewall riots and has a passionate cult following around the world.

The film juxtaposes intimate behind-the-scenes access, rich archives and history, engaging character driven stories, and dance performances shot in North America, Europe and Japan. Rebels on Pointe is a creative blend of gender-bending artistic expression, diversity, passion and purpose. A story which ultimately proves that a ballerina is not only a woman dancing - but an act of revolution in a tutu.

The film runs for 90 minutes. To view a trailer, visit https://vimeo.com/220336309.
