Anthony Williams' Urban Nutcracker puts a modern spin on the 19th Century fairy tale and transports the audience to an enchanted world not unlike their own. Say hello to Clarice & friends...you've entered the world of the Urban Nutcracker. Strains of Duke Ellington dovetail with the buzz of neon driven by the heartbeat of Tchaikovsky. You could say it is a fusion of modern, multicultural and classical dance...but it's more! It's an or ganic interpretation brought about by a unifying of cultures. This is how art succeeds. This is how classic ballet, urban tap, hip hop, swing, flamenco, step and jazz blend into something special.

Set against jaw-dropping animated video projections by Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger, this tale of holiday spirit moves youth and adults alike.

A Christmas classic: Tchaikovsky's music for the ballet "The Nutcracker." E.T.A. Hoffmann's story of a memorable Christmas Eve, where dream and reality merge, isn't danced, but narrated. When the toy soldiers march, the Sugar Plum Fairy begins to dance, the battle against the Mouse King rages, and Marie travels with the Nutcracker through the Sugar Plum Fairy's kingdom, the music begins and enchants the audience, not least thanks to the great linguistic artistry of the actor Wanja Mues, who is also well-known in Central Germany.
