Dance of The Reed Flutes | The Nutcracker and The Mouse King | Ballett Zürich | Marquee TV

A fun clip featuring the Dance of The Reed Flutes played on accordion in Christian Spuck's quirky re-interpretation of Tchaikovsky's classic.

Christian Spuck attempts to distance himself from the Dumas/Petipas version in his choreography and puts the literary origin at the heart of his ballet, emphasizing the fantastical nature of the original rather than the delightful Christmas fairytale and bringing back the fairy tale of the princess Pirlipat, who turns into a nut monster, as told by E.T.A. Hoffmann.

In Rufus Didwiszus’ stage setting, the workshop of the godfather Drosselmeier turns into an old revue-theater, where the characters of the ballet come to life. Spucks’ choreography plays with the richness of characters in E.T.A. Hoffmann’s narrative cosmos, the absurdity and overwrought humor that inhabit them while at the same time looking down into the dark abyss of Romanticism.
