Slutcracker: The Movie

Starting Thanksgiving Day and for a limited time only, Ballets Ruses presents Slutcracker: The Movie for rental. Stream Boston’s queer-feminist runaway holiday sensation, on demand, on any device, into the comfort of your own home (or the parking lot at Four Seasons Total Landscaping if they have wifi).

Enjoy the warmth sold-out audiences bring to a 850-seat theater that was once a stop on America’s Vaudeville circuit. Laugh and cheer along with our two casts dancing to a marvelous recording of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker ballet, performed exclusively for The Slutcracker by Filharmonie Brno of the Czech Republic.

Like many other dance companies, we are finding our way through the effects of COVID-19. We’re heartbroken we can’t safely mount a live stage show this year but thrilled to bring our groundbreaking brand of holiday cheer to you in a feature-length film.

Slutcracker: The Movie is a feature-length film presentation of The Slutcracker’s 2019 stage show. Compiled from several performances, the film version includes footage from 2 casts, blended together into one seamless narrative. The Slutcracker is an adults-only, queer-feminist, body-positive and sex-positive parody of the famed Tchaikovsky classic The Nutcracker.
