Ballet from the street…ummm, we’d like to see how that’s done
The Nutcracker reloaded – Tchaikovksy meets Streetdance
When: January 23–28
Where: Museumsquartier Halle E
This would make any culture snob vomit and drop their monocle in their lap – what we have here is an interesting attempt by the famed Swedish choreographer, Fredrik Rydman, take ye’ old classic ballet, Nutcraker, and do his own remix with it. This will be no doubt the most modern interpretation of the classic you’ve ever seen. In it, classical music will mix with pop and Hip Hop, while dances create magic with their bodies on stage by mixing ballet and street dance. This is surely something worth seeing. Good old Frederik’s first go at doing a modern take like this, Swan Lake Reloaded,’ was a hit!
Recommended if you like: the ballet, stopping to watch breakdancers on the street, experiencing something different, when old classics are recycled and recreated
