Nut/Cracked: The Bang Group Dance Concert

Iona’s Council on the Arts presents The Bang Group’s beloved, witty response to “The Nutcracker” is a comic, Neo-vaudeville version that takes its inspiration from all corners of the dance canon, from tap riffs to en pointe ballet, by way of bubble wrap, disco, and Chines take-out noodles.  In Nut/Cracked, choreographer David Parker finds beauty in the ridiculous, waltzing the audience through many incarnations of Tchaikovsky’s score, including versions by Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller, as well as the traditional orchestral suite.  One will never watch “The Nutcracker” in quite the same way again!
