Chicos Mambo TUTU, choreographed by Philippe Lafeuille, combines high-level dance technique with parody, costume spectacle and theatrical wit. The piece premiered as a 20th-anniversary creation for Chicos Mambo and features an all-male cast of six dancers who take on more than 40 characters, from swans to divas, all while wearing tulle-laden “tutu-trousers.” Audiences have noted that despite the humour, the ballet and contemporary dance moves are executed with serious skill.
