Halo and welcome, jolly viewers. Across the globe, family and friends are reuniting and good cheer resonates among all.

Indeed, it is the holiday season, a time to celebrate life and love. In light of this special time of year, we are delighted to share with you “Cirque Nut.” It is based on the classic ballet “The Nutcracker,” composed by Peter Tchaikovsky, story written by E. T. A. Hoffman, and script written by Marius Petipa.

“The Nutcracker” ballet has become a timeless holiday tradition in many parts of the world. It is the story of young Clara, who receives a magnificent toy Nutcracker for Christmas. She is totally enthralled with her precious gift. Later, when the Nutcracker is broken, Clara takes gentle care of him, and eventually falls asleep.

Thus ensues a fairy tale adventure in which Clara and her cherished Nutcracker together experience the joys of a different dimension of existence. Through Clara’s devotion to her beloved Nutcracker, a magical world opens for them. The fairies and angels come to life, sharing their bliss and illumination. Clara’s innate goodness is amply rewarded with a fantastical world of grace and treasures.

Now for the first time, “Cirque Nut” presents a unique rendition of this popular story using an exciting blend of ballet and acrobatics. This grand creation is the result of the collaboration between Korean and Belarusian artists, producers, and designers. “Cirque Nut,” produced by the South Korea-based J&S International, consists of 24 talented ballet dancers from the National Belarus State Choreographic College and 26 members of the Belarusian National Statement Circus. Two performers were also members of the famous Cirque Du Soleil, including Olympic medalist Ms. Yulia Raskina, who plays the female lead. Now, let’s enjoy “Cirque Nut”!

What a magnificent show! Our thankfulness, brilliant artists from the National Belarus State Choreographic College and the Belarusian National Statement Circus, for this awe-inspiring production. The combination of classical ballet and acrobatic performances is indeed a unique wonder to behold.
