Burkicom:
Nutcracker
The Nutcracker is perhaps the most famous Christmas ballet. How about we have fun with it? And in our own way! Together we will enter the illusion of a story in which objects come to life around us, dolls fly, bears dance and a crazy orchestra plays Tchaikovsky. We will not interpret or modernize, but play. And the only thing that will interest us is the wonder of time spent together and the limitlessness of imagination. We'll all become Clara. We will create Christmas.
The show is suitable for the whole family, ages 6 to 100.
The performance is part of the Bread & Dance Prague 2024 festival.
