Rat King
Event Description
Dance Lab’s RAT KING (The Untold & Twisted TAIL of a Nutcracker Christmas) is an original concept that zooms into the life of the Rat King. He has a family with wants and needs (just like you and me), and he’s just trying to give his kids a memorable Christmas. Unfortunately, for all parties involved, when looking for a venue to host his epic rat family party, The Rat King unknowingly inhabits the walls of a well-to-do Human Family for this joyous occasion. Clara’s family, that is. Clara and that pesky brother of hers, Fritz.
When the human and rat Christmas festivities inevitably collide, and Clara meets her rat counterpart TARA (“a rat” spelled backwards), all chaos breaks loose. In desperate attempts to rid their mansion of these brilliant creatures, Clara’s family enlist help from the ALL POWERFUL NUTCRACKER, and when his gallant approach isn’t cutting it, Clara must call in the Extermination experts.
Will the humans succeed in ridding their mansion of these misunderstood rodents, or will their efforts prove futile only fueling the fire for the RATS to take back their Christmas the only way they know how…
Join Lab Co. youth dancers and the Lab Underground Adult movers through a fever dream of a RAT INSPIRED FANTASY WORLD and spark a new tradition for your Holiday!
Move over Sugar Plum Fairy, the rats have images of SWISS CHEESE dancing in their heads.
