Going Out: Dance: Les Ballets Trockadero
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Taller than Darcey Bussell, more chic than Margot Fonteyn, Les Ballets Trockadero or "Trocks" (right) take classical refinement to unheard of limits. Maya Thickenthighya, Fifi Barkova, Ida Nevasayneva: these are some of the legendary names that will stun you in The Dying Swan, and other favourites. You will gasp at the ballerinas' supported fouettes, so powerful they can unbalance their cavaliers; you will marvel at an interpretative sensitivity that can make their swans as vivid as ostriches. The 14 Trocks are not the fragile ladies they claim to be; but they promise a jolly evening of affectionate ballet mockery. On the road worldwide for 25 years, these drag queens are enjoying a renewed surge of popularity and tour the regions before their London visit this autumn.
Derngate Theatre, Northampton (01604 624811) tomorrow; Wycombe Swan Theatre (01494 512000) 26-27 Apr; then touring
