Ballerina Boys
LVA has partnered with the Livermore Public Library for a showing of the
documentary Ballerina Boys on Sunday, January 28th at 2 pm in the Storytime
Room at the Civic Center Branch.
Ballerina Boys is a portrait of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (The Trocks). For over 45 years, the company has shared its signature style and message of equality, inclusion, and social justice with audiences around the world. The film follows The Trocks on tour in the Carolinas, an epicenter of continued struggles for LGBTQ+ rights.
Ballerina Boys interweaves original interviews and contemporary and archival performance footage to tell the remarkable history of the company and culminates with The Trocks’ 2019 performance at the Stonewall 50th anniversary concert at Central Park’s SummerStage in New York City. In the words of ballerina Kevin Garcia, “Every time the curtain opens, we represent progress for equality. We just do it dancing.”
The screening will be followed immediately by a Question and Answer session with co-director and co-producer Martie Barylick.
Ballerina Boys is a production of Merrywidow Films in association with
American Masters Pictures and ITVS, directed and produced by Chana Gazit and
Martie Barylick, with Michael Kantor as executive producer of American
Masters. The screening is free and open to the public but space is limited.
