Scapino Ballet Rotterdam (12+)
De Notenkraker
'The Nutcracker' is an absolute classic. The fairy-tale ballet created by Lev Ivanow in 1892 to the marvellous music of Tchaikovsky has always had an irresistable appeal during the dark days around Christmas. Dance innovator Marco Goecke has made a remarkable contemporary interpretation. He proves himself to be a real dance wizard in creating a dark fairy-tale country in which childish innocence and fantasy mutate into fears from the subconscious. all of this in his own dance language full of playful, subtle finds and virtuoso movements.
