To mark the centenary of Tchaikovsky's ballet The
Nutcracker, a performance by the Mark Morris Dance Group of the American choreographer's "alternative" version. Morris and his librettist, cartoonist
Charles Burns , have set it in the American suburbia of the 1960s.
It's a sleek black-and-white world with the kids watching
TV while the Stahlbaums hold a cocktail party, where the adults drink and flirt in bellbottoms and bouffant hair-dos.
