Or maybe they are just having fun along the way. Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (or affectionately known as The Trocks) delivers itsballet with a twist.
The all-male company puts its spin on ballet classics through drag and comedy. “We do a lot of fun things throughout the show because it’s fun to turn the story of Swan Lake into a comedy ballet,” dancer Shohei Iwahama said by phone.
Iwahama and the rest of the Trocks bring their talents to the Irving Arts Center for a one-night only performance on Friday.
