Marcel Bejart's "Nutcracker"
Oh jegus, I laughed like a loon last night.
Basically, Ovation is having a week-long Nutcracker Dance-off in which they play a different interpretation of the Nutcracker every night. Last night I got to see Marcel Bejart's...er...interesting take on it
and I
laughed
my butt off~
Basically, the only thing it had to do with the original Nutcracker was the musical score. The choreographer set his life story to the score and it ended up being a lot of interpretive dance with some honestly scary drag queens and half-nekkid man trees (I kid you not).
The dancing cat man was the best part, but I was dying laughing at the half-nekkid man trees and the overgrown French Boy Scouts with no shirts on doing the inchworm across the floor....if you get a chance, look it up on Youtube.
Interpretive dance is the best, I swear. :'D
