More about Zoetrope Zoetrope by National Dance Company Wales will be a magical and imaginative escape for all ages. Inspired by the Victorian fun fair, circus and early animation, expect to see the small cast of uber-talented performers leap and cartwheel across the stage dressed as Chimps, lizards and skeletons and move through clever illusions made by light, sound and costumes. Legendary chorographer Lea Anderson MBE has been working with the talented dancers from National Dance Company Wales (NDCWales) to create their very first show especially for families, which will premiere in Cardiff this December.
