"A Nutcracker" is a refreshing and unusual version of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" that offers a different point of view of the timeless tale. French choreographer Bouba Landrille Tchouda takes E.T.A. Hoffmann's story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" and intertwines it with Tchaikovsky's romantic and moving composition. With his theater company, Tchouda interprets the classical ballet in a surprisingly modern fashion adding hip-hop music by noted composer Yvan Talbot.

Cennarium is providing free access to this all-time favorite holiday classic to promote making the performing arts more accessible to audiences through streaming. A large percentage of the population does not have access to the performing arts due to location, cost or time restraints.
