RKTZ Touring
"Artistically brilliant, absolutely hilarious...freshly funny, sweet-tempered and inventive" - New York Times Direct from New York, the 2007 smash hit “Men In Tutu's” and 2012 highly-successful Australian Tour, Les Ballets Eloelle's Artistic Director Victor Trevino returns to Australian stages with his new hilarious International production “MEN IN PINK TIGHTS”. From the thrilling pirouettes of the male dancers, in drag, with brilliant and innovative choreography to the side splitting humour, all presented specially-designed lavish costumes. Victor Trevino’s highly-successful production "MEN IN PINK TIGHTS" is a show designed for male, female, young and old. This production is the ultimate send up of both classical and contemporary ballet. The combination of brilliant dancing technique, tongue in cheek and blatant humour with intentional foibles, dancing mishaps and of course hissy fits by men playing both male and female roles (some of the men do actually look like gorgeous women, while others are hairy chested men with pancake makeup but all in tutus etc. dancing on perfect Pointe) creates great entertainment. Les Ballets Eloelle is one of the few all male comedy ballet companies in the world. Its mission is to create, to present, to preserve and to extend comedic repertoire of classical and contemporary dancing, through performances of the highest quality, presented to the widest possible audience. Artistic Director Victor Trevino said: "Les Ballets Eloelle is committed to the core art form of ballet and promoting it through the comedic tradition of male comedy ballet". Les Ballets Eloelle's MEN IN PINK TIGHTS" boasts over fifty classical ballets in its repertoire and twenty of the best international male ballet dancers from 13 countries. These handsome and beautiful soloists have performed with renowned ballet company¹s the calibre of Houston Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Royal Danish Ballet, Incoballet, Ballet Alberta of Canada, Scapino Ballet, Martha Graham Dance Company, New York City Ballet, Metropolitan Opera Ballet, Les Jeune Ballet De France, to name a few. The programme will include the Company's signature work with the Cast bringing their own brand of humour to the roles: "Swan Lake Act II", Pas de Quatre, Minkus Gala and the George Balanchine creation "Go For Barocco". The show will also feature duets from both classical and neo-classical origins showcasing a combination of pyrotechnics and comedy, while adhering to the spirit of the originals. They include "Spartacus", "Grande Tarantelle", "Romeo and Juliet", "La Corsaire", "Harlequinade" and another signature work "The Dying Swan". "MEN IN PINK TIGHTS" is presented by RKTZ Touring. The New York-based Les Ballets Eloelle's Artistic Director Victor Trevino said that "MEN IN PINK TIGHTS" will perform "dance classics with a twist that is sure to delight audiences of all ages. The most talented and funniest male ballerinas on the planet will entertain you with their antics. It is sure to excite, entertain and amuse you with their production. Burly men will transform before your eyes into dainty, slightly hairy swans. Come and LOL!" Family entertainment for all. Be truly amazed.
