The Aerial Nutcracker: A Narrative Circus Production
After the successful summer narrative aerial production of "Where the Desert Meets the Moon," Momentum Aerial presents their second narrative production this winter, "The Nutcracker!"
The story of Clara, the nutcracker, & the mouse king is back-- with a new aerial twist you've never seen before! The production features aerial dance interwoven into a play format, where the classic moments of the Nutcracker will be presented through circus arts! Featuring some of the original music by Tchaikovsky, with other music to keep this production fresh and exciting. The cast includes seven actor-aerialists who are a part of our narrative aerial class, and the show is supported by performances from fall semester aerial classes. This production is family friendly and runs at around an hour in length. The show is one day only, December 20th, at both 3 and 6 pm at Momentum Aerial.
Tickets are only $15. Space is limited, so make your December magical and get your tickets early!
