Veronica Tennant is a Canadian producer, director, filmmaker and former prima ballerina with the National Ballet of Canada. Tennant's retelling of E.T.A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker is full of decadence and splendor. From the lavish Christmas party to Clara's journey through fantasy land, each page sets the stage for an extravagant imaginary performance. The rat king makes a quick appearance to start off Clara's delirium that is soon filled with music, dancing and the feasting of sweets.
The high energy and exuberance of this story is matched with colourful and psychedelic art by Toller Cranston (1949–2015). Cranston was a Canadian painter and figure skater. He is a six-time Canadian Champion, 1970-1976, has won the 1974 World bronze medal, and the 1976 Olympic bronze medal. Cranston's fluid lines morph and bend into art that could be described as mesmerizing and surreal.
