The Nutcracker

Free Association

Bay 20, Carriageworks 2008

A contemporary take on the universal favourite with a darker, quirkier edge and a swag of unexpected twists and turns. Tchaikovsky's ballet is translated into breezy acoustic guitar with shadow puppetry and silhouette alike; a show of tall tales, beautiful music and visual splendour.
