Featuring Oscar Castro-Neves and Friends

sound 50 years ago. Now the legendary Castro-Neves

celebration of Brazil’s best-known
export!

Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

After 34 years, The
Trocks (as they are affectionately called)
are still going strong, presenting a playful,
entertaining view of traditional, classical
ballet in parody form and en travesti. Of
the Trocks’ second sold-out run at the
Peacock Theatre in London, The Daily Telegraph
wrote “These guys are really funny.
But they can really dance, too.” Pure
fun! |

Expect

contemporary dance company! “Pilobolus
is a mind-blowing troupe of wildly
creative and physically daring dancers
who leap, fly, intertwine and break
all the rules,” says Newsday.
The program will include the remounting
of Ocellus, the second work created
by the original four members. This
Pilobolus masterwork explores the
relationship between movement and
image and is one of the defining moments
in the company’s artistic development.
