Expected the brilliantly unexpected from Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre's second annual performance of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. ACDT shocked and surprised audiences last year with their original version of The Nutcracker. Though The Nutcracker might be the world's most famous ballet, if it is being performed by ACDT you can guarantee it is something you haven't seen before. This version couldn't be further from Tchaikovsky's famous ballet. It is based on the original and much darker story weitten in 1816 by German author E.T.A. Hoffmann.
This year's performance features special guest artist Roger Henry Pech of Merida, Mexico, as well as the ACDT adult company, White Dog ProjectX International, and the students of New Studio of Dance. With typical ACDT flair, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King will again prove to be a wonderful Christmas story full of adventure, courage and loyalty where love comes alive in a spectacular modern dance experience.
Tickets: Adults $25 • Children, Students & Seniors $20
