Outkast Star Makes Debut In Hip-Hop Ballet
Outkast’s Antwan Patton has won rave reviews in a new ballet production that is inspired by hip-hop music.
The show, entitled Big, is a collaboration with Americas oldest ballet company, Atlanta Ballet.
Patton performs onstage during the production which, according to the Guardian, features a mash up of Guiseppe Verdi's ‘La Traviata’ and OutKast’s ‘Morris Brown’.
The Outkast rapper’s collaboration has been described as an obvious partnership by Atlanta Ballet's artistic director, John McFall.
"Hip-hop is a defining element of Atlanta," he said.
"It only makes sense that the two art forms would come together at some point."
After a host of American dates the ballet is expected to come Europe later this year.
