Nutcracker Like Never Before

Think you know the Nutcracker? Think again! This holiday season witness a unique performance by Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre, breathing life into the timeless Christmas classic! The Nutcracker and the Mouse King takes a step into the wilder side of the tale, leaning into the darker origins of the world's most famous ballet.

From the high-flying to the surreal, it's fresh, original and a far cry in tone from Tchaikovsky's ballet, harking back to the more moody original story by E.T.A. Hoffman. With hilariously unique characters such as the King and Queen of Sausages, and a layer of carnage caused by the Mouse King's children, it's certain to leave you stunned and sated if you're looking for something different this Christmas!
