The Buttcracker: A Nutcracker Burlesque aims to subvert the classic holiday ballet by promoting diversity in body, gender expression, sexuality, and race. Focusing on the root origin of the word burlesque, "burla" or joke, as an Italian form of poking fun at serious works, the show also embraces the risqué elements the genre has come to be known for as a vehicle for entertainment and joy. Through circus, variety, sideshow, and tease, the show utilizes the platform of parody to encourage audiences to imagine a more inclusive and accepting world.
