The Livermore Public Library, in partnership with Livermore Valley Arts, invites community members to a free screening of Ballerina Boys (rated TV-14), followed by a Q & A with co-director Martie Barylick. Ballerina Boys is a portrait of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (The Trocks), the world’s premier all-male comic ballet company. This film 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.”
