Little girl Clara has been left alone to live in a rubbish dump while her parents beg on the streets of a rich foreign country. In Fredrik Rydman's version of the 19th century classic The Nutcracker Clara meets a beautiful ballet prince, dirty rats, yummy candy characters, a nutcracker with r'n'b in his headphones and an organ dealer looking for a young heart to sell to a sick woman. With breaking, hip hop, ballet and a spectacular stage show set to newly written music by, amongst others Danny Saucedo and Anna Ternheim mixed with Tchaikovsky's music takes the audience into an incredible fairy tale. Sometimes frighteningly similar to reality...
- What attracts me is the great music. The story is lousy, so for it to be something, it has to be developed. You can't turn a blind eye to the situation in Europe today, so I've chosen to make The Nutcracker about children missing their parents, but in an imaginative, scary, fun and crazy way. A modern fairy tale!" says Fredrik Benke Rydman.
