An original version of the classic Christmas ballet with a modern and contemporary perspective.
Lo Schiaccianoci is an original version of the classic Christmas ballet by Pëtr Il'ič Čajkovskij, brought to the stage by Balletto di Roma with the direction of Massimiliano Volpini. The production reduces the grandeur to give value to the "behind the scenes" of the most beloved day by all children, inviting the audience to observe the fairy tale from a new perspective that discovers the terrestrial aspects of a contemporary, multifaceted society. Through the curious mind of young Clara, the audience will experience an evasive journey that will take them from a scene of boxes, bricks, cracks, and graffiti to a magical world, out of time.
