The first and loudest arguement I heard my parents have was my mother wanting to take me to the nutcracker ballet and my father protesting I was far too young and would be asleep in seconds...the result was me jumping from my mother pinching me every time my eye lids gravitated south!

The Stuttgart Ballet though is not one you need matchsticks to wedge your peepers open for.

An eccentric mix of ballet, modern dance and comedy all within short episodes- perfect for those with a shorter attention span than most (ahem)!

Some of the short stories/performances are intensely sexually charged but in a way that makes you wish your body worked as theirs does magically and electrically in sync with someone else's and the lighting throughout enhances the beauty of the dancers incredibly well.

Make a beeline for tickets when the Stuttgart is back in town- there wasnt a dry seat in the house and the air was thick with enthusiasm for this piece.
